Get Involved

Get involved and learn how we can collectively benefit the lives of our students. Follow the steps below to sign up as a mentor.
 
Once your application is approved, you will be connected with a mentorship liaison at a school in the area of your choice. We ask that mentors engage with students for at least one hour per month, and encourage you to work with your liaison to establish additional sessions. 

All mentorship must be conducted on school grounds, during regular school hours, under the supervision of a District employee. 
1. VOLUNTEER PROGRAM APPLICATION
Visit volunteerapp.lausd.net, select “LAUSD Community” at the bottom, and click “Register” to create an account. Once registered, choose “Everyone Mentors LA” on the Personal Information page, then select the program you’d like from the drop-down menu under Volunteer Type.
 
2. SUBMIT REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
Schedule your no-cost background check at applicantservices.com/LAUVOL. Enter “Everyone Mentors LA” for the school location and the first five digits of
your volunteer application ID. You must complete fingerprinting through Los Angeles Unified.* Obtain TB clearance from your doctor and email it to [email protected] with the subject: “TB Clearance for Everyone Mentors LA."
 
3. DOCUMENT REVIEW AND ASSIGNMENT
Wait up to 35 days for document review. After submission, two District teams will check for compliance. You’ll then be assigned to a school in one of your chosen neighborhoods.
 
4. OBTAIN ACCESS
You’ll receive an approval letter and temporary badge via email from the Los Angeles Unified Department of Student Health and Human Services. Your
official badge will be sent to the Everyone Mentors LA liaison at your assigned school.
 
5. SCHOOL LIASON OUTREACH
Wait for your school site to contact you with details on connecting with your mentee. For any issues, please contact us.
