San Francisco Education Fund 

Volunteer Request Form

Please note that only employees of SFUSD can request a volunteer, meaning you must have an SFUSD email address to request a volunteer at this time. 

Thank you for requesting community volunteer support for your classroom! This form is to request ongoing (weekly+) in-class volunteer support.
  • Please describe your volunteer needs thoroughly. The more detail you can provide, the more likely we will be able to find you a match. 
  • The person filling out this form must be the person who will be hosting the volunteer.
  • Volunteers can be tutors, classroom assistants, or lead Mindfulness sessions. 
    • If you're requesting a Mindfulness volunteer AND a tutor or classroom assistant, please submit 2 separate requests. 
  • Each volunteer selects the school where they’d like to volunteer and what they would like to do based on their own personal set of criteria. This list of requests will be shared with all of our cleared volunteers.
  • We will do our best to accommodate all requests, but this may not always be possible in every situation.
  • If you’ve already been in contact with your past volunteer and they intend to return to your classroom, please don’t submit a new request.

After you submit a request: If a volunteer expresses interest in working in your classroom, an Ed Fund staff member will email you to confirm you are still looking for a volunteer. If you are, the Ed Fund will introduce you and the potential volunteer via email. If you don't respond to the Ed Fund's email within one (1) business week, we will move on to another teacher’s request. A quick response is critical to receiving a volunteer.

If you have any questions, please email volunteer@sfedfund.org
