Volunteers
Volunteers are an important part of the school community. Jackson County Public Schools promotes and encourages the help of volunteers in order to expand and enhance parental and community involvement in our schools while continuing to maintain a high level of safety and security.
To be a school volunteer, you must complete an online application using Volunteer Tracker. Once the application is submitted online, Human Resources will be notified and a background check will be initiated. When approved, the volunteer and the school coordinator will be notified.
The first time you access Volunteer Tracker (also known as "app-garden") you will need to select the green "New Registration" link (see screenshot below) to register your email address and create a password. To begin the registration process, select the JCPS Volunteer Tracker button below.
To view an instructional video that demonstrates the registration process, please select the Registration Process button below.
Thank you for volunteering with Jackson County Public Schools!
