In the Delta School District, we believe that strong partnerships between schools, families, and the community help create welcoming, inclusive, and supportive learning environments where every student can thrive.
We are seeking enthusiastic and committed volunteers who share our passion for supporting student learning and well-being.
As a Delta Schools volunteer, you will play an important role in enriching the educational experience of our students by contributing your time, skills, and talents. Whether you are interested in assisting in classrooms, supporting school events, helping with extracurricular activities, or contributing in other meaningful ways, there are many opportunities to get involved and make a positive difference in school communities.
Together, we can help foster a sense of belonging, encourage student success, and strengthen the connections that make our schools vibrant places to learn and grow.
Volunteer Application Process
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with us! The following steps explain how to become an approved Delta Schools volunteer:
Step 2: Apply for a Criminal Record Check (CRC)
Under the Criminal Records Review Program (CRRP), school boards are mandated to ensure that all school volunteers with the potential for unsupervised access to children or vulnerable adults complete a Criminal Record Check (CRC).
The Delta School District appreciates your understanding that requesting this check is both a legal requirement, and part of our commitment to student safety.
Recognizing that there may be sensitivities around providing such information, CRC clearances are confidentially handled through the Delta School District’s Human Resources (HR) Department located at the Board Office.
To complete a Criminal Record Check (CRC):
- Click on the following link to Apply to the District as a Volunteer: Apply to Volunteer
For instructions on how to complete the steps to Apply to the District, click here.
- Once your application is received by Human Resources, you will receive an email from PSSG Security Programs Division, to the email address you provided on your application (check your junk or spam folder). Instructions will be included in this email. Please complete this step as soon as possible and only submit one request form – the link will expire in 14 days and your application cannot proceed until it is completed.
-
- Complete the CRC using a BC Service Account (preferred) – Instructions for setting up the App are available here: BC Services Card Setup Guide
- If you are unable to use BC Service Account, please contact the Delta School District’s HR department at humanresources@deltaschools.ca to verify identity with photo ID* in person (please quote “CRC Check – Volunteer” in the subject line of your email).
- Once your CRC has been processed, HR will send a confirmation email to you and to the school(s) you are requesting to volunteer at.
Returning Volunteers
Criminal Record Checks are valid for five years, unless a volunteer is charged with or convicted of a new offence. If this occurs, the volunteer must report the charge or conviction to their school or the district so that a new Criminal Record Check may be initiated, in accordance with section 24.9 of the Criminal Records Review Act.
Volunteers will be contacted when a new Criminal Record Check is required.
Step 3: Volunteer Application Forms
Depending on your role, you will be asked to complete one (or more) of the following application forms:
Volunteer Form – for volunteers supporting school activities.
Volunteer Form – for volunteers who transport students as part of a school activity or field trip.
Please complete the applicant sections of the form and bring it to your school, along with the supporting documents requested in the form. School staff will complete the verification and approval sections. Forms are also available from your school office.
Approved volunteer forms remain valid until the end of the school year. A new application form must be submitted each school year.
Apply early: We encourage volunteers to contact their school early in the school year to help ensure that application approvals are completed well before planned volunteer activities begin.
VOLUNTEER DRIVERS – REQUIRED ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION
Volunteers who will be transporting students must complete a Volunteer Driver Application form (see above) and provide the following documentation to the school for verification:
- Valid BC driver’s license.
- Proof of BC vehicle registration and insurance with at least $1 million third-party liability insurance coverage for the vehicle being used.
- A copy of a Driver’s Abstract issued within the last 30 days. The Driver’s Abstract must be obtained through ICBC https://icbc.com/driver-licensing/getting-licensed/Your-driving-record
