BPS Volunteer Program
Barrington schools welcome parents and community members who wish to contribute their valuable time and talents to enriching the academic experience of our students.
Volunteer activities offer parents and community members opportunities to engage with their local school and support student learning. These experiences are mutually rewarding to students, parents, partners, and schools.
