Volunteering at MCSD
Manheim Central School District values unique contributions made by parents and community volunteers to the educational programs of the school district. In an effort to ensure the safety of our students, the District has established a volunteer policy that requires certain documentation for all its volunteers.
New for the 2024-2025 School Year!
You can now apply completely online to be a volunteer! Visit our new website to complete the application process and submit your clearances. You will have the ability to track your application and view/download your clearances at any time.
