Volunteer

To get started, you will need to complete the Volunteer Application and pass a background check.

The safety of our staff and students is of the utmost importance to us, and that is why we have our background check policy and procedure.

Upon successful completion of the volunteer application and background check, one of our Volunteer Coordinators will be in contact with you regarding opportunities available that match your interests, schools and availability. The Volunteer Coordinators regularly work with the teachers and staff at all of the schools to identify and fill their volunteer needs.

Did you know we have a strong and growing Adult Basic Education program at Cambridge-Isanti Schools? We are always looking for people to volunteer with our adult learners in this rewarding environment.

Classroom volunteer: Work one-on-one with students on Reading or Math (we do have quite a few students who are low-level math—multiplication/division, decimals, etc. We would never expect a volunteer to work with a student on a subject that they felt was out of their comfort zone).

One-on-one tutoring: This could be with a native-English speaking student who has a low reading level and wants to become a better reader, or, with a non-native English speaker who wants to learn English. (We are seeing a slight increase in requests for ESL classes/tutors).

Free training is provided through the Minnesota Literacy Council if the volunteer wishes. (It is recommended, but not absolutely necessary to be a volunteer for us).

As a volunteer, you are governed by the policies and procedures of Cambridge-Isanti Schools. This handbook outlines these policies and procedures. Please familiarize yourself with this document and contact the Volunteer Services Specialist or Human Resources with any questions.

Every Meal is an organization that provides weekend food to children right where they are – at school. Their broad network provides 4-5 pounds of substantive, nutritious food directly to the children – at the end of each school week we put the food into their backpack for them to take home. If you would like your student to receive a bag of weekend food each Friday, please complete the following form:
