    CMS Volunteer Information

    Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools screens all volunteers to ensure the safety of our students. The screening includes completion of an online volunteer registration form and a criminal background check. Volunteer screening can also include interviews by appropriate CMS staff and reference checks.

    We have three kinds of volunteer approvals: supervised, unsupervised without driving and unsupervised with driving. Supervised volunteers will work under the direction and in the presence of CMS staff. Unsupervised volunteers may work with children without CMS staff present. Volunteers approved as “Unsupervised with driving” are allowed to drive children as part of their volunteer activity. Please note that volunteers who drive children must provide proof of insurance and a copy of their driver license to CMS Law Enforcement. 

    Please contact the school at 980-343-5435 for further information and volunteer opportunities.
