VOLUNTEERING IN THE CLASSROOM
volunteers
Welcome! Volunteers are a vital part of student success in Duval County Public Schools. More than 23,000 volunteers support schools each year and the number is growing. The employees of the Department of Community and Family Engagement work hand and hand with the volunteer liaisons at the schools to encourage interested parents and citizens to join us in our mission to provide every student with a high quality education. You can help by becoming a volunteer today.
To ensure the safety of our students, volunteers must complete an application and undergo a criminal background screening, free of charge, conducted by our department. Designated school staff will verify your clearance to volunteer at the school using our online process. DCPS is no longer using volunteer cards as a proof of clearance.
Each Duval County Public School has its own needs and priorities. School Volunteer Liaisons can help you fill these needs based on the priorities set by each school-leadership team. Principals will determine the final decisions regarding volunteers and volunteer opportunities at the schools.
