Volunteers
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with our District! The Carlynton School District supports and encourages the participation of parents/guardians and community residents to enhance the educational, co-curricular and extracurricular programs of the district. Below you will find all of the information you will need to get started as a volunteer. If you have any questions about the process or required documents, please contact the volunteer coordinator at volunteer@carlynton.k12.pa.us. Please note: No application will be reviewed or approved without all of the supporting documents.
School board policy defines the guidelines for volunteers in our schools as an adult, whose role is more than that of a visitor, who voluntarily offers a service to the district without receiving compensation from the district. A volunteer is not a school employee.
