Volunteering
HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY
Parents, guardians, grandparents and community members are invited to volunteer in our schools. Our Bobcat volunteers play an integral part in supporting educational, athletic, and extra-curricular activities within the District. We appreciate their time, dedication, and willingness to help.
Directions
Under Pennsylvania law, ALL school volunteers must meet certain requirements, including those who volunteer in extracurricular activities. Therefore, all NESD volunteers must obtain approval from the Board of School Directors to ensure the safety of our students and staff, and for compliance of the law.
Detailed information and required forms can be found in below and in the Volunteer Handbook. The Volunteer Handbook can be downloaded from the link on the upper right hand corner of this page.
For additional information on serving as a volunteer, please email humanresources@nebobcats.org or contact the Human Resource Department at 717-266-3667 ext 10268.
Please follow the instructions outlined below for submission of your volunteer packet.
Step #1 - Access the below sites to obtain a volunteer clearance.
Obtain a PA Child Abuse History Clearance
Obtain a FBI Criminal History Background Check - If you have lived in PA for less than 10 years, you are required to obtain and submit this clearance. There is a small fee for this clearance ($23.25). Use service code 1KG6ZJ. Please note, due to recent changes in legislation, FBI criminal history background checks must be obtained using the Department of Human Services service code (1KG6ZJ). For the purposes of serving as a volunteer, the district is unable to accept FBI clearances that utilize any other service code.
