Volunteer requirements for in classroom volunteers are set by the OUSD Board of Directors, and volunteer clearance is processed by the Oakland Public Education Fund, learn more by reading their Clearance Requirements document (Requisitos para Acreditación).  Start by signing up to volunteer through the Oakland Ed Fund. To make it easier for parents to complete the process, the PPTG hosts a livescan technician at one of the first garden days of the year. Watch Konstella to sign up for an appointment.
