Mahalo for your interest in volunteering with Kamehameha Schools. Here at Kamehameha Schools Hawaiʻi, we value the contributions of volunteers and encourage our KS ʻohana to serve as a volunteer to enrich the overall educational experience for our haumāna.
To maintain a safe learning environment for students, staff, and volunteers, Kamehameha Schools requires that individuals submit the following applicable requirements:
- Application to Volunteer (submitted annually)
- Criminal History Background Check through HireRight
- Online Volunteer Training entitled “Ensuring A Safe Learning Environment”
- Tuberculosis (TB) Clearance (required ONLY IF you anticipate volunteering for more than 30 days within the school year)
+ APPLICATION
In order to be approved to be a volunteer, you must first complete the KS Application to Volunteer. The application form for the current school year can be completed here.
+ BACKGROUND CHECK
You will be required to consent to a criminal history background check. The following provides you with information on KS’ volunteer background check process:
-
KS partners with HireRight, a leading provider of background check services. KS uses HireRight to conduct new hire, employee and volunteer background checks.
-
You will receive an email from HireRight. For your reference, please follow the Background Check Process guide for step-by-step instructions on how to complete this online process.
-
The background check process includes a 10-year nationwide criminal conviction search, a Social Security Number trace, and a National Sex Offender Registry search.
-
Results typically take up to 2 weeks to be returned but may take up to 3 weeks if you have previously lived in certain counties in California. We will notify you if any result of your background checks excludes you from participating as a volunteer with KS.
-
Note: Any Volunteer that has successfully completed a criminal background check through KS within the past three years may be allowed to submit a criminal history self-declaration form in lieu of a repeat criminal background check.
