Volunteers Make a Difference

Volunteers contribute to student success and make a big difference in our schools. Interested in becoming a volunteer? Here's what you can do:

The Friends of MNPS School Libraries form allows you to complete the simple background check free of charge through PENCIL and get started quickly! Once you have clearance from the district, the librarian and principal can help you create a volunteer schedule.

Contact a school directly to learn about volunteer opportunities.

For district volunteer opportunities, email our Family Information Center or call (615) 259-4636.

Connect with our Metro Schools Community Achieves initiative, which partners with volunteers, businesses, and community organizations to support school communities, students, and families.

Connect with PENCIL, an organization that connects businesses and volunteers to Metro Schools.
