Volunteering
Gilbert Public Schools appreciates your interest in becoming a volunteer at our schools. Our parent volunteers are an invaluable resource for our campuses.
Field Trip Chaperone Volunteers - If you are not a current Gilbert Public Schools employee or the parent/legal guardian of a student participating in a field trip, you are required to obtain a Level One IVP fingerprint clearance prior to participating as a field trip chaperone. This process can take about a month, so please ensure you submit your volunteer application with this in mind. Please complete the Volunteer position application by selecting the application button below. Please indicate the campus of the student field trip in which you wish to participate so that the campus can follow up on your application. You will need to provide two personal references. Once your GPS volunteer application has been processed, you will be contacted by someone from the district’s Office of Talent Management Department with information regarding an appointment to apply for your fingerprint clearance card. There will be no cost to you for your appointment to obtain your IVP fingerprint clearance.
Classroom Parent/Guardian Volunteers - If you are an occasional parent/legal guardian classroom or field trip volunteer, fingerprint clearance is not required. If you regularly volunteer in the classroom and work with students, you are required to obtain a Level One IVP fingerprint clearance. This process can take about a month, so please ensure you submit your volunteer application with this in mind.

Please indicate the campus at which you wish to volunteer so that the campus can follow up on your application. You will need to provide two personal references.
