Framingham Public Schools' 21st Century afterschool and summer programs help level the playing field for low income and minority youth who may struggle to keep pace with peers who have more resources. We need your help so our students can achieve even more. Volunteers make a minimum six week commitment to work the same day each week for one hour with our middle school students or 1.5 hours with our elementary students.

Regular Duties:
Club Partners: Club Partners work with a classroom teacher to develop and run a 12-week enrichment club or to provide a specific activity during the course of a club. If you have a professional skill or hobby you think would intrigue our middle or elementary school students, please consider this option. All enrichment clubs must be fun and engaging. Students choose from a menu of clubs and their participation is voluntary. Middle school clubs incorporate a mathematics component; elementary clubs include a vocabulary enrichment component. Our classroom teachers would ensure this requirement is met. If you have an idea for a club or activity, please contact us. Volunteer Club Partners make a significant and much appreciated contribution to the growth of our students.
