Since the Pecan Springs Elementary school needs some extra help this year, they are looking for mentors

Mentors help with (1) specifically coaching students who need support, and (2) showing all of the students that they are supported and that our community cares about them and their school performance. Grades 3-5 especially need support.

As set forth by the State of Texas, all volunteers and mentors must complete an approved background check before being on campus to support our students.

It’s easy peasey! Just follow the steps below:

Volunteer Background Check Instructions

Visit austinisd.voly.org to create a volunteer account and complete the required steps for a background check, including your profile, school selection, and consent forms. Austin ISDaustinisd.voly.org

Allow 2–5 business days for processing. Typically, background checks are completed within that window. Austin ISD+1

After approval, you’ll receive a notification email confirming your cleared status. Austin ISD+1

If you don’t receive a response within 5 business days, please contact the volunteer support team at volunteerchecks@austinisd.org for assistance. Austin ISD

Once you’re cleared, reach out by email to campus Parent Support at blanca.salgado@austinisd.org.

Please allow up to two additional days after your background check is approved for campus coordination—then campus staff can begin processing your placement.

We can’t wait to welcome you to campus—thank you for supporting our students!
