Helping Students, Changing Lives
Welcome to Prince George County Public Schools' Volunteers Portal. Volunteering provides many opportunities to invest in the daily lives of Prince George County Schools' students. Our district welcome visitors and volunteers. Please review the following guidelines for safely visiting and volunteering in our schools.

For those who collaborate with school leadership or faculty on a long-term regular basis, a volunteer application is also required, in addition to signing in through Raptor for each visit. Examples for visitors and volunteers are provided below along with the steps for submitting a volunteer application.
