Volunteer Updates
We are happy to share that volunteers are welcome in Bremerton School District schools for fall 2021 on a limited basis. Volunteers must be participating in an approved partnership (such as AVID mentoring) or at the request of a building principal for a specific project or program.
For the safety of all, we must minimize the amount of people in our buildings so, unfortunately, the majority of our volunteers will have to wait until the world opens up more.
Your continued patience is greatly appreciated while we navigate through this pandemic.
The District is utilizing strict pandemic protocol. All volunteers will be required to wear masks, practice social distancing and provide proof of COVID vaccination.
The Bremerton Backpack Brigade Team distributed hundreds of kindness cards last year and will do so again this year.

Here are a few volunteer opportunities with the Backpack Brigade!
- Fridays mornings 9:30 a.m. - packing backpacks at the pantry.
- Friday mornings 10:00 am - Drivers to deliver the filled backpacks to schools.
- Mid-week (usually Wednesday mornings), volunteers are needed to pick up backpacks from each school (from the previous weeks delivery).

- In the future additional help may be needed with weekly shopping or other tasks.
Important details:
