Fort Leavenworth USD 207 Volunteer Application
At the Fort Leavenworth School District, we encourage family members and sponsored unit volunteers to participate in our many engagement opportunities throughout the year.
A volunteer is an individual who donates services and/or time for the benefit of the USD 207 community, without the expectation of compensation. Volunteers within USD 207 fall into two categories: school volunteers and service member volunteers.
School volunteers are screened before each visit utilizing the Volunteer Management Component of Visitor Aware for entry access to each building. A Driver's License is required for this process. (A Military ID is not an approved form of identification for this system.)
