Volunteering

We had a record breaking year for volunteer hours in the 2025-2026 school year. We are so grateful for the time and effort donated to our students and staff!

The volunteer application is LIVE for the 2026-2027 school year. Applications will be valid through the end of the school year. Please click the Volunteer Application link to the left (if using a cell phone, look for the blue box with the + links are located there) and complete the required information on each page. Once you SUBMIT the completed application, you should receive a confirmation email that your application was received. Due to the high volume of applicants, the review process may take a few days longer than expected, however, you should receive a second email letting you know when your application is approved. Students return to Wyomina Park Elementary on July 21 and all other MCPS schools on August 10. Thank you for all you do for the students of Marion County!
Please contact Safe Schools with any questions at 352-671-6963.
