The Volunteer Program in St. Mary's County Public Schools utilizes the talents and services of people recruited from the community to help enhance and extend the instructional programs of the schools. Volunteer coordinators at each school organize and manage a program that meets the school needs and enriches the educational setting. A volunteer is an individual who, at the request of the school system and acting under its control and direction, contributes services on a regular or an occassional basis without compensation.

The above passage was taken from the SMCPS Handbook for Volunteers, which is available in the main copy center at LMS.

Please contact a volunteer coordinator or the school office for details.
