Soar: the freedom and achievement that come from education.
Help both at school events, like community events or on your own time. You can serve as a FOH board member, join a committee, or pitch in for a specific project. The best way to explore how you can get involved is through our Contact Us form and by reviewing committees and events.
If you’re interested in volunteering in the classroom, work with your student’s teacher directly and you’ll need an SPS Background Check.
