All potential volunteers, whether they be family, community members, or staff, must complete the volunteer application and participate in an orientation/training session annually beginning on July 1st.  All volunteer training expires on June 30th. Please follow the steps below to complete the volunteer application process.

BCPS Volunteer Application Process

Step 1: Complete the Online Volunteer Orientation

Create or log into your Vector Solutions account to complete the BCPS Volunteer Orientation. The training is available in English and Spanish. Once the user has logged in, language selection is at the top right next to the profile picture. If you have completed training in the past but don't remember your login information, please email your school's volunteer coordinator for assistance in recovery. Once you've completed the training, the system will generate a certificate for you to print or save.

• Create an Account 
• Log in to an existing account

Please save a copy (electronic or printed) for your records. You will need to submit a copy in the next step.

Step 2: Complete a BCPS Volunteer Application (2 options)

• Online Application Option *NEW*
  We have introduced a new online volunteer application for this school year. You will submit your training certificate through this application. Volunteers will receive an email from the school volunteer coordinator once the application is approved. 

• Paper Application Option
  This application is not submitted automatically, so you will need to save a copy to your device or print it for your records. Be sure to read and complete each section carefully. You will need to submit a copy along with your training certificate to your school's volunteer coordinator either by email to [email protected] or by providing a hard copy.
