Join Our Community of Los Angeles Unified Volunteers
Volunteer Management System Update
Welcome! We are thrilled to process your application for another year of service through the Los Angeles Unified School Volunteer Program. We are preparing to transition our program operations toward processing applications for summer school and the 2025-26 school year.

2024-2025 School Year: Please submit and complete the processing of volunteer applications for this current school year by May 9th. This transition helps our team to shift toward the processing of applications for summer school and the 2025-26 school year. We encourage all school sites to process volunteers for pending field trips and events leading to graduation and culminations.

Summer School Volunteer Applications: Processing of applications will start May 27th and will be accepted through July 17. If you are continuing your service at your approved school site of service from the 2024-25 school year, you do not need to reapply. Applicants for summer school are prospective volunteers serving at a new school site assignment. Please ask your school site administrator to process the application before the summer school deadline. Region Family and Community Engagement Administrative Coordinators will be assisting summer school principals with the processing of volunteer applications. Learn how to contact your Region Family and Community Engagement Administrative Coordinator by visiting  lausd.org/regions.

2025-26 School Year Applications: The focus of the central office School Volunteer Program Team will shift toward processing applications for the new school year starting on May 27, 2025. Last year alone, we processed over 11,000 applications because we know our volunteers want to support new school year events and service opportunities.

At Los Angeles Unified we thank you for helping us surpass a new record of hosting over 40,000 active volunteers serving with our school site leadership!
