Volunteering at Palmerston

Volunteers require a satisfactory PRC who have regular contact with students (including community-based coaches working with school teams).

In order to promote and support volunteerism in our schools, while also protecting the safety of students, we ask you to consider your volunteers in one of two categories:

1. Volunteers who, on a casual basis, assist from time to time with a variety of activities in a school. These volunteers MAY require a PRC including, a VSC. We consider casual volunteers to be those people who are volunteering less than 3 times in a school year.

2. Volunteers who, on a regular, scheduled or overnight basis, assist with a variety of activities. These volunteers REQUIRE a VSC. Regular, scheduled volunteers are considered to be volunteers who are participating in overnight events, have volunteered 3 or more times in the school year or are anticipated to volunteer 3 or more time in the school year and are working with children or students.

Please see the step by step process in the PDF document attached with necessary codes and links which has already been shared to parents. The cost is only $26.72, and largely subsidized by TDSB.
