Campus volunteer opportunities are varied and time commitments can range from 30 minutes per year to 20 hours per week and everything in between. Your help is needed! Not only will you get to help your child’s campus, you’ll also meet some wonderful friends and have fun in the process.  Our volunteer family is what makes our school so successful, providing additional support to staff and faculty so teachers can spend their time teaching!

Volunteer REGISTRATION

Volunteer Registration Katy ISD is grateful for the thousands of volunteers who make a difference in our schools each year. To help maintain a safe and secure environment for our students and staff, all volunteers serving on or off campus during or outside the instructional day are required to register annually through the district's Raptor volunteer management system.

 

A valid government-issued photo ID and email address are required to complete registration.

 

Your information will remain confidential and will not be shared outside of the volunteer program, except for applicants who register as a Community Volunteer (not a parent, grandparent, or guardian of a current Katy ISD student) or as a KEYS Mentor. For these volunteer roles, the information required to complete a background check will be shared only with our authorized background screening provider, JDP. Once registered and approved, volunteers can:

 

  • Sign up as a campus volunteer by completing the volunteer recruitment form provided by their campus organization(s) or by contacting the campus volunteer coordinator. 
  • Track volunteer hours through their volunteer profile for every Katy ISD campus where they serve.
  • Quickly and easily submit individual off-campus volunteer hours.
