The Volunteer Department at Dallas ISD recently announced changes and enhancements to the overall volunteer experience.

As of August 15, Dallas ISD Volunteer Services starts using a new volunteer management system called “VOLY.”  This system is widely used in organizations in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and familiar to many of volunteers already in our system.

Some of the great advantages of VOLY are:

  • Easy campus check-in
  • Browse and sign-up for opportunities from anywhere
  • Self-Manage your own volunteer profile, including changing your school of choice or adding a school
  • No more printing out the “You Are Cleared” letter for the school office
  • Online volunteer orientation available
  • Mobile friendly application

The district is starting to ask volunteers to re-register as new volunteers to ensure all records are up to date. The volunteer application enrollment period begins Aug. 15.
