OUSD Volunteer Requirements
If the volunteer will be performing unsupervised roles, meaning not in the presence of an OUSD employee they must be fingerprinted. If the volunteer is supervised, they only need a TB test because they will be in the presence of an OUSD employee at all times. Volunteers should complete an application and return to the Family & Community new office- 2111 International Blvd. Oakland, CA 94606. Simultaneously they should go get a TB test and once the negative results are obtained they should return them to the FCO office as well. Once both the application and the tb results are received, request an appointment for the volunteer to be fingerprinted. HR will then contact the volunteer to schedule a fingerprint appointment. Below are a list of processing steps. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to email or call the Family & Community Office

- Return completed application along with negative TB results to FCO (via fax 510-434-7767 or 510-434-7757, mail, or in person)
- FCO will then request a fingerprint appointment with HR (if unsupervised volunteer)
- Volunteer will receive an phone/ email 3-5 days later from HR informing the volunteer of fingerprint appointment (including money order requirements)
- 2-6 weeks after fingerprinting appointment occurs, the volunteer will be sent a letter from HR informing them of their clearance or non-clearance
- Volunteer should then contact FCO to notify them of clearance status.
