Become a MCS Volunteer

Volunteers support the goals and mission of Memphis City Schools in a wide variety of ways. Every year, volunteers make tremendous contributions in our schools and provide a wealth of energy, talent, skills and caring for a wide variety of educational programs and activities.

Because the safety of our students and school campuses remains a top priority, Board Policy requires screening in the form of a criminal background check for all volunteers. Please note that information provided for the volunteer screening is kept secure and confidential by the Office of Volunteer Services.

Just a few ways to volunteer at Memphis City Schools:

• Become a tutor or mentor
• Assist with special school events
• Serve as a chaperone for school trips
• Supervise school testing sessions (TCAP, Gateway, etc.)
• Assist school administrators with office work
• Speak to students about career goals
• Assist in school labs or vocational classes
