    HOME ACCESS VOLUNTEER PROFILE

    Create your volunteer profile at helpcounterweb.com/ci/volunteer. You can add/remove schools, update contact information, track and record hours, and see upcoming opportunities. 

    Did you volunteer on a school field trip, boosters event, or other activity where you were unable to sign in on the school kiosk? Record your hours served on your volunteer profile or email your school volunteer coordinator to add your time. We know many volunteers serve our students outside of the school building and school day, and we want to make sure we recognize your contributions.
