Volunteer Requirements

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Winters Joint Unified School District.

The process for becoming a volunteer can take up to 2 weeks to complete. One form is required for each volunteer.

The process consists of:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) Risk Assessment or Negative Test (valid for 4 years)
  • Fingerprinting (must be done with the Winters Joint Unified School District, previous fingerprints will not be accepted)
  • Mandated Reporter Training (new 7/1/2026)

All requested documents should be emailed to asolorio@wintersjusd.org or delivered to the District Office, 909 W. Grant Ave.

Mandated Reporter Training

Beginning July 1, 2026, California's SB 848 expands the definition of "mandated reporter" to include school volunteers who are over 18 and interact with students outside the immediate supervision of a parent, guardian, or school employee. As a result, volunteers will be required to complete mandated reporter training within six weeks of beginning volunteer service and annually thereafter. Proof of completion will be reviewed by the school district.

This new requirement is part of a broader effort to strengthen student safety by ensuring that volunteers, along with employees, board members, and certain contractors, understand their legal obligation to recognize and report suspected child abuse or neglect.
