HISD Volunteer Registration
Click this link and follow the new volunteer registration steps (click “Next Page” between each step):
- Enter your information exactly as it is shown on your official ID (e.g. driver’s license),
- Select “Carnegie Vanguard High School” under High Schools,
- Select your affiliation to the school and volunteer functions/organizations, and
- Agree to the new terms and submit.
With this new system you are asked to enter your driver’s license number online (if available). You no longer need to take your ID to Carnegie to volunteer.
Note that showing your license for volunteering is not the same as showing license for visiting. For visiting, your license is run through RAPTOR, a sex offender database, on the spot. For volunteering, your license is used by HISD for a criminal background check. The background check takes up to two weeks to complete. It must be repeated every year.
Following that, you will be able to join in the on-campus Carnegie community and/or volunteer on any HISD campus for which you successfully registered.
