Anyone that meets BPS Volunteer Qualifications can be a school volunteer. Once an individual is cleared by the Office of District and School Security, they can volunteer/chaperone for any school in the BPS district.

To become an approved volunteer, complete the following steps:

1. Complete the online volunteer application found here: BPS Volunteer Application 

2. Pay the $35.00 fee online here: Online payment options  *$35.00 fee is waived at this time

3. Get fingerprinted at the BPS Educational Services Facility – Office of District and School Security (2700 Judge Fran Jamieson Way, Viera, FL  32940 between 8:00AM-4:00PM), even if you've been fingerprinted somewhere else. (The State of Florida does not have a shared database that would allow us to access other agencies' employee fingerprints. The systems utilized by the federal government, contractors of the United States government and private companies are disparate systems and communicate and store data in different manners.)

After completing the above steps, and the Office of District and School Security has completed the VECHS Level II background check, the applicant will receive an email notifying them of their approval.

If you’re an approved volunteer in the BPS system, and able to help with any of the needs listed below, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Chris Bell, via email at: Email Chris Bell
