Public School Volunteer Week

Thank you RISD Voluteers

It makes a big impact when our community bands together to support our schools! #PublicSchoolVolunteerWeek is celebrated on April 20-24 to recognize the individuals and groups who volunteer their time and efforts to show up, step in, and make a difference for our students and staff.

From mentoring students in We Read Together and serving as RISD Ambassadors or helping with carpool lines and field trips, to being involved with booster clubs, PTAs, and faith-based partners, our volunteers provide vital support wherever it is needed most.

We appreciate each one of our 10,000+ volunteers who share their time, talents, and big hearts for our schools. Our community wouldn’t be the same without you!
