Volunteer at Coebourn

Volunteers are an essential component to the success of PDSD schools and students. All adult volunteers entering our schools to work with children must have the clearances mandated by the Pennsylvania Child Protective Services Law. 

In accordance with law, these documents must be updated every sixty (60) months in order to continue as a volunteer. Certificates may be brought to the office of the school where you will volunteer or delivered to the Administration Building (2821 Concord Rd., Aston) for processing. Questions? Contact Marti Owens via email or call 610-497-6300 x1308.
