Volunteering in our Schools

Durham Public Schools welcomes and appreciates our supportive and invaluable volunteers.

We simply would not be able to successfully offer all the programs, extracurricular activities, and opportunities we provide our students and families without you.

Our elementary, middle school, and high school students all have different needs, and the options of how you can help are endless.

Please visit Volunteering Registration if you need help getting started, and let's work together to make the best experiences possible for our future generation.

  • Your application is not considered complete until all activities on your dashboard have been completed.

  • For returning volunteers, you must create a new account with a new username.

  • Criminal Background Checks will be run every school year for all volunteers.
