Steps To Becoming a Volunteer

New District Protocol For Volunteer Program/Process For 2025-26

The biggest change is that teachers (or the corresponding staff member) will be the one to share the volunteer sign-up links with you. For new volunteers, the first time you sign up, you’ll need to select a specific time slot and start date.

Refer to the district instructions and information listed below.

Thank you again Ballard HS Families. Ballard HS has a strong sense of community and is well supported by an outstanding staff and a robust PTSA.

As of April 12, 2026
