Helpful Information for Completing the Volunteer Approval Process

Thank you for your interest in volunteering in Plano ISD. We greatly appreciate your willingness to invest your time and efforts into supporting Plano ISD students, families and staff. 

All volunteers will need to create an account and complete an application, online orientation and background check through the Plano ISD volunteer management system, VOLY, to be eligible for district/school volunteer opportunities. Please visit plano.voly.org to create a volunteer account and begin this process. These items will need to be completed by volunteers each school year. 

An email will be sent to the volunteer applicant communicating the status of their application and criminal history search within 3-5 business days of completing these steps. Volunteer approval status can also be viewed by the volunteer by logging into their account. Volunteers will need to complete the online orientation as well to be eligible to volunteer. 

Once approved, they will be able to sign up for volunteer opportunities directly through the VOLY platform at plano.voly.org. Volunteers should be sure to select all of the schools they are interested in volunteering with when asked on their application in order to be eligible for volunteer opportunities at all of their schools of interest. These school selections can also be changed by the volunteer by logging into their account at any time.
