Volunteer Opportunities

Manchester Public Schools warmly welcomes volunteers! Your time, talents, and support make a meaningful difference in our students’ lives and help strengthen our entire school community. Whether you can give a few hours a month or assist with a one-time event, there are many rewarding ways to get involved.

Volunteering builds stronger relationships between families, schools, and staff while enriching the educational experience for every child.

Getting Started

All volunteers must complete a background check and volunteer training as required by district policy. Please review our Volunteer Policy for full details.

Most volunteer opportunities are coordinated through your child’s school, the Family Resource Centers, or your school’s PTA/PTO. Contact your child’s principal, teacher, or the Family Resource Coordinator at your school to learn about current needs and to get started.
