Welcome to the Volunteer Program at West Delaware Schools. We’re looking for all persons willing to volunteer in any way. When we find out where, when, and how often you’d like to help we can use that information to match you with the needs of teachers and staff. Whether you have a little or a lot of time regularly or one-time only, we need you. We’d like to have parents, grandparents, high school and college students, retired persons, and area business employees for various jobs in and out of the classroom. Together we can make our school district better than ever and strengthen our community spirit at the same time.

Thank you video for our volunteers!
