How to Volunteer

To ensure the safety of our staff and students, we ask that all volunteers complete an application and background check that includes a search of the national criminal database, sex offender list, and terrorist watchlist. Once an account has been created and the application has been approved, you will be able to login and review volunteer opportunities at your selected schools. Volunteers must register and be approved prior to engaging in any volunteer activity. Once you are approved, an email will be sent to you notifying you of the approval and your user account information.

What is the difference between a visitor and a volunteer?

Volunteers are involved on a more regular and ongoing basis and may be alone with students. Visitors typically do not work with students unsupervised and are not engaging with regular and ongoing volunteer activities. Visitors will be screened upon entry to any school buildings; we ask that all visitors provide a state issued ID at check in. The background check for visitors includes the sex offender list.

After Prom Committee

The mission of the After Prom Committee is to provide a safe and fun environment for our students to gather and enjoy games, food, and entertainment immediately following Prom. All juniors and seniors, whether or not they attend Prom, are invited to participate in the event. After Prom is open to all Severance High School juniors and seniors along with their guests.
