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.

While Covid-19 remains a concern, regardless of vaccine status, we require that everyone respect social distancing guidelines and wear a mask when indoors, and if it isn’t possible to be six feet apart, we highly encourage wearing a mask outdoors as well.
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.
