VOLUNTEER WITH US
Whether you are an individual with a passion for helping others or with an organization that wants to give back to the community, the OKCPS Foundation offers a variety of volunteer opportunities for you!
Learn more about our volunteer opportunities:
Join us on the bus at any school within the OKCPS district and help students pick out one free book to add to their home library! Volunteers have the autonomy to sign-up for shifts that fit their schedule, no minimum hours required. They must be able to sit and stand for extended periods of time, lift up to 25 pounds, bend, stoop, climb stairs, walk and reach. In this role, you will assist students with finding their favorite book, engage in conversation about literacy, and encourage students to enjoy their new book! You will also ensure that book bus visits run smoothly to put a new book in the hands of each OKCPS student!
This opportunity does not work with children directly, however, it is one of the most important jobs! Our book buses cannot give out free books if there are no books on the buses! Plus, if organizing and sorting is a strength of yours, you will love our book bus room. Volunteers must be able to stand for extended periods of time, lift up to 25 pounds, bend, stoop, climb stairs, walk and reach. In this role, you may unpack boxes of books, organize book shelves in room or bus, help choose books to add to our bus shelves, restock & tidy buses, or organize/sort bookmarks, stickers, and volunteer shirts.
Inspire young readers! ReadOKC Reading Buddies offer volunteers the opportunity to be a positive role model for OKCPS students while supporting literacy skills. Become a ReadOKC Volunteer and engage with a small group of 1st or 3rd Grade students on a weekly basis. Reading Buddies is a weekly session with the same group of students from late September to mid-March.
Our Foundation holds several key events each year. From time-to-time, our small team could use extra helping hands.
