  • Volunteering in Providence Schools!

     

    Providence Schools welcomes and encourages the valuable contributions made by volunteers! The support and involvement of Providence families and community members is vital to our students’ success. Increasing volunteer opportunities and other types of school-based engagement and clarifying the volunteer engagement process will encourage more individuals to become involved with the District.
