Volunteers

At the North Florida School of Special Education, we believe in the power of a legacy crafted by many hands. Volunteering at NFSSE provides you with an opportunity to help shape the future of our students, and fulfill an important role as a change agent in our community.

As a volunteer, NFSSE has many ways for you to give of your time throughout the year, from helping out with a fundraising project, to lending your talents in our extracurricular activities, to sharing your leadership with an after-school club. You will certainly build lasting friendships with our students and staff and enjoy a few laughs along the way.

  • Stay home if you are sick. Individuals who arrive on site with symptoms will be sent home. If you have signed up to volunteer and are exhibiting signs of fever, new or worsening cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, diarrhea or loss of taste or smell, please contact Rina Park or Stacy Santiago.
  • If you have come into contact with anyone who has tested positive for Covid-19, please stay home and contact Rina Park or Stacy Santiago.
