We began Public School Volunteer Week in 1997, to provide opportunities in which parents can volunteer in their local public schools. Five million parents in 3500 school districts are involved in this effort. Below we provide examples of their dedication to this cause.

Join us on the 12th Annual Public School Volunteer Week, third week of April in 2009. The campaign wants more parents and caregivers to take the Parental Involvement Pledge. The Pledge is a written learning compact in which parents commit to be involved in a child's education. The Pledge is the most widely distributed learning compact in the United States and our celebrations are observed from coast-to-coast.
