Volunteering at Mary Shadd

Volunteers Needed!

Parents, caregivers, and community members are encouraged to participate in volunteer activities to support school programs and student success. We always need volunteers to assist with field trips.

All volunteers must complete a Police Reference Check, before they can assist with students in any TDSB location. This includes attending Field Trips. At a minimum, volunteers participating in events or activities at school sites must supply the Board with a Level 2 – CRJMC (Criminal Record Judicial Matters Check).
