Want to go on field trips, help at book fairs, or volunteer at events at your child's school next school year?
If your answer is **YES**, now is the perfect time to complete the **2026–2027 Volunteer Training Online** and become an **Approved Volunteer for Monroe County Schools**!
**Don't wait until the last minute.** Make sure your volunteer badge is ready before the school year begins so you don't miss out on field trips, classroom activities, book fairs, and other opportunities to serve.
Becoming an approved volunteer is easy! Just follow these steps:
1. **Complete the online volunteer training** (required EVERY school year). https://bit.ly/FY27VOLUNTEER
2. **Submit a photo ID** to the front desk at the Monroe County BOE for your volunteer badge (if you have never had a volunteer badge before).
3. **Visit the Monroe County Sheriff's Office** to complete a background check. Cost is **$20 cash** and **two forms of ID** are required. Background checks must be renewed every two years.
4. **Check your email regularly** to make sure no additional information is needed to complete your approval process.
**Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!**
