Volunteer Connection
Volunteer Connection programs offer opportunities for tutors to assist students with learning in an academic setting. We are always looking for volunteers to commit one to two hours a week for a school semester or six-month period.
Why Volunteer at Bloomington Public Schools?
Volunteers are able to connect and inspire students at Bloomington Public Schools. Your time, energy, and positive presence as a volunteer will make a world of difference in the lives of every student.
How to Become a Volunteer
Per District Policy 906, volunteers and visitors are required to complete the following prior to entering the building:
