Volunteer at FCS
Friends In Action
Welcome to the Friends Community School Parent Volunteer Program, "Friends in Action," inspired by our Quaker values.
As a K-8 Quaker Progressive school, we deeply value the involvement of our parents in all of our efforts to make FCS the community school that it is. Your participation not only enriches the school experience for our students but also strengthens our FCS community and we appreciate any time you can contribute.

Training: Attend a brief training session on your role and responsibilities as a volunteer. This is required for all volunteers who do anything with the students at FCS. Our Volunteer coordinators will conduct several training sessions throughout the year to ensure there are multiple opportunities to receive the training and be cleared. We cannot offer these training sessions on demand and you will not be able to volunteer in any capacity without completing this training.
Communication: Stay informed through our volunteer newsletter and emails.
