Once you are a Berkeley School Volunteer, you can return to volunteering or request a new placement at any time! Just contact our office with the following information:

Want a new assignment?

Please let us know the following:

• grades/ages of students you would like to work with
• subject area(s) of interest to you
• times you are available Monday-Friday, 7:30am-6pm

After you let us know that you wish to volunteer with a new teacher and/or a new school, we will find a new assignment for you based on your stated preferences. We will mail your new assignment along with a new badge to you as soon as possible (usually within the next 2-3 weeks.)

Want to continue with the same teacher?

Please let BSV know!

After you let us know that you wish to continue volunteering with the same teacher at the same school and you already have his or her contact information, please feel free to go ahead and set up your volunteering schedule and get started! We will mail you a current name badge within the next few weeks, depending upon the volume of requests we are processing at that time.

Has your contact information changed?

We are transitioning to a new database and would also like to have your current contact information, including the following

• NAME:
• MAILING ADDRESS:
• PERMANENT ADDRESS (if different than above):
• PHONE NUMBERS:
• Cell:
• Home:
• Work:
• ADDITIONAL UPDATES (new email? have a preferred contact?)

Missing your BSV Name Badge?

Can’t find your badge after the winter break? Lost your badge somewhere in your car? It happens. Please contact us for a new badge at any time! Our BSV name badges are valid for the full school year cycle, Fall through Summer. The new school year cycle begins with the first day of Fall instruction.

Occasionally, the BSV office receives returned mail from the post office–often reading “insufficient address” or some such reason for failed delivery. Unfortunately, this sometimes takes over a month to return to our office. If you do not receive your name badge and placement paperwork within 2-3 weeks, please contact our office for its status.

Some common reasons for failed mail delivery:

• address is incomplete (no apartment number listed; CAL student housing incomplete address)
• incorrect zip code (we can look this up if you leave it blank, otherwise we assume you know your zip code.)
• name on envelope does not match resident’s name

Whether it’s our mistake or a delayed delivery, we need to resolve it in a timely fashion–so you have a name badge to wear at your schools site!

Thank you for continuing to be a Berkeley School Volunteer! Please contact us if you have any questions not answered here.
