Volunteer Application Process Updates in Navigate360

The School District of Lancaster has updated its Navigate360 volunteer application process. Effective immediately, all volunteer applicants must upload their Pennsylvania Mandated Reporter Training Certificate and provide the completion date within the application. This information is now required before an application can be approved.

The application has also been updated to include a field for the district’s Valued Volunteer Training.

Beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, family volunteers and community partners will be required to complete a Valued Volunteer Training Session before volunteering in the district.

At this time, completion of the Valued Volunteer Training is not required for application approval. Training sessions are still being scheduled, and additional information about dates, registration, and participation requirements will be shared later this summer.

Thank you for your continued partnership. If you have any questions, email communications@sdlancaster.org.
