How to become a Volunteer?

Pennsylvania law requires all community members and parents to obtain the necessary clearances before volunteering in our schools. If you have previously submitted your clearances to the Human Resources Office, they remain valid for five (5) years from the date of issue.

Step 1: Confirm Volunteer Opportunities

Contact the school where you would like to volunteer to find out if they are currently accepting volunteers.

Step 2: Complete the Required Clearances

Volunteers must complete the following background checks:

Pennsylvania Criminal Record Check
Pennsylvania Child Abuse History Clearance
How to get your clearances?

Note: Fees for these clearances are waived for volunteers whose applications were submitted after July 25, 2015, according to state guidelines.

Step 3: Submit Your Forms

Once your clearances are complete, please fill out the following forms and bring all documents to the District Office:

- Short Term Volunteer Form
- Arrest or Conviction Form

Thank you for your willingness to serve our schools and community!
