Become a CCPS Champion

There are many ways to support Chesterfield County Public Schools as a volunteer or partner, and we encourage you to share your time and talents. Whether you are looking for ways to contribute as an individual, via an organization or through a donation, we are always seeking champions to support our students and schools. CCPS volunteers support student wellbeing, promote literacy, support classroom innovation and help grow life-ready graduates. We are always better together.

How it Works

Chesterfield schools offer many volunteer opportunities, both in-person and virtual. You only need to complete the application process if you are a new volunteer or if you received an email to renew your status.

  • Application Process: Most volunteers must complete a central application that includes a background check.
  • Processing Time: Approval can take two to four weeks, so please apply well before you plan to volunteer.

You must submit an application if you plan to:

  • Chaperone a field trip
  • Advise a club or sports team
  • Participate in mentor groups
  • Work with students unsupervised

You do not have to submit an application if you are:

  • Visiting for lunch
  • Helping in the library or office
  • A college student in classrooms for program credit
  • 18 & under
  • A supervised classroom helper such as a room mom, assisting with a class party, etc.
