Volunteer

Are you interested in volunteering with the Edgefield County School District? We have a variety of volunteer opportunities at our schools and would be thrilled to have you join us!

The safety and security of all ECSD students and staff is our primary concern. To maintain the fidelity of our safety and security protocols, participation in volunteer training and a National Sex Offender Registry Check is required of all school visitors and volunteers. In addition to participation in the sex offender registry check, a Criminal Background Screening is required of all Class B volunteers.

Volunteer training, the National Sex Offender Registry Check, and the Criminal Background Screening are available at no cost to all interested volunteers and must be completed on an annual basis.
