Volunteers provide the opportunity for families and our community to enrich the education of students. They are vital to the success of all Omaha Public Schools students. Omaha Public Schools seeks dedicated volunteers to carry out various duties ranging from chaperoning field trips to tutoring, mentoring children, assisting with fundraising efforts and coaching our student-athletes.

Anyone interested in volunteering in our schools must go through an application process. We want this to be a rewarding experience for you. Omaha Public Schools appreciates your willingness and support.

The steps below outline what needs to happen before someone can volunteer at any of our schools.

We appreciate your interest and willingness to support our Omaha Public Schools students and families.
