Pacifica School Volunteers

Pacifica School Volunteers recruits members of our high school and local adult community to Volunteer in our public schools. Working together with public school students one-on-one or in small groups, particularly in reading and math, helps ensure students reach grade-level standards and graduate.

Do you know that last year, our Volunteers shared over 27,000 hours with Pacifica public school students? Do you know that since our inception in 1997, our Volunteers have reached over ten thousand young people?
