THE FOUNDATION FOR ORANGE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Investing in our children today to
strengthen our community tomorrow
The strength of tomorrow’s Central Florida community depends largely on the quality of education students receive today. Orange County educators believe that the school system and the community must work together to provide quality education.
This 2019 - 2020 school year the ADDitions School Volunteer program is celebrating it's 49th Anniversary, and the Partners in Education program marks it's 39th Anniversary! Join us today and make a difference in the lives of our youth.
The perfect avenue for individuals to become involved with education in Orange County Public Schools. School volunteers work at the schools of their choice and participate in activities that match their interests, such as assisting teachers in the classroom, designing bulletin boards, working with students, serving as computer tutors, working with art classes, or helping out in the office or media center.
