Volunteer at Geneva
The next best thing to being a student at The Geneva School is being involved as a volunteer.
Parental involvement in the life of the school has always been a vibrant element in the Geneva community experience. Whether you serve as a member of our board of governors, coach a basketball team, chair a special event, or dress up for Colonial Day—we want you to be involved.
Volunteering at Geneva is a great way to further your partnership with the school. Our field trips and events spill over with active, enthusiastic parents. Many will say, “Wow! I wish that I’d had this kind of education!”
What Needs to Be Done?
Our teachers, athletic coaches, and staff welcome parental assistance. We have both one-time and ongoing opportunities, including our SALT Serveathon, Christmas Festival, Grandparents Day, the Annual Auction Gala, a variety of office needs, photography, and prayer groups for moms and dads. We even have an occasional need for parents who prefer to work at home.
Please submit the form below and someone will be in touch with you.
Background and Driving Record Checks
In most cases, volunteers who help out at school are required to have a valid background check on file. Situations where a background check is required are:
- Volunteers who work with students in a potentially unsupervised setting
- Volunteers who drive/chaperone students on school sanctioned trips and events where the transportation is organized by TGS staff members.
Background and Driver Check Forms
| Volunteer Forms and Instructions |
Background Check
- All parent volunteers who will have close contact with students, including parent drivers, are required to have a background check
- Background checks are valid for as long as you stay at TGS.
- If you have recently had fingerprints taken (with a photo) as part of another organization’s screening, you may already be in the Florida Clearinghouse system administered by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and thus not need to be checked again. To find out, please contact Karen in the business office at 321-422-0250.
- The cost for the background check is $74.
- When visitors sign in at the front desk, volunteers who have a valid background check on file will be given a special volunteer badge that they should wear while they are on campus. When they sign out, the badges should be returned to the front desk.
| To submit a background check, please follow these steps:
- Visit www.fieldprintflorida.com
- Click the purple “Schedule an Appointment” button on the right.
- Enter an email address under “New Users/Sign Up” and click the “Sign Up” button. Follow the instructions for creating a Password and Security Question and then click “Sign Up and Continue”.
- Select “I know my Fieldprint Code” and enter the code FPTheGenevaSchoolVol. At this point, you are ready to enter your demographic information and schedule a fingerprint appointment at the location of your choosing.
- At the end of the process, print the Confirmation Page. Take the Confirmation Page with you to your fingerprint appointment, along with two forms of identification. At least one form of ID must be a valid, government issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license. Visit Driver Privacy Protection Act for information on the prohibition on release and use of certain personal information from State motor vehicle records (MVR).

| Driver Check Application (Google Form) | - All parents driving students on school sanctioned events such as field trips must have completed a background check through the school.
- To ensure the safety of Geneva students, the school requires that all drivers submit to a driving record check. Only those cleared by the business office will be permitted to drive students. Minimum insurance requirements are required
- A $13 charge ($10 after the first year) will be added to a family’s account to cover the cost of this check. Driving record checks are valid for one year (365 days).
