VOLUNTEER

      Denham Oaks Needs You!

​

     Thank you for your interest in volunteering at DOES. Volunteering is not only very rewarding, but a lot of fun too!

​

Before volunteering for any school function, you must first be cleared by a Pasco County background check. The Pasco County School District requires potential volunteers to annually submit an on-line form. Once your status as a volunteer is approved you will receive an email confirmation from Pasco County, and the school will receive notification as well. 

​

When you volunteer at Denham Oaks during the school day, please check in at the front office. You will be given a badge to wear which will identify you as an approved volunteer.
