Volunteer on the PFC Board or a Committee

Serving on the PFC Board or volunteering on a committee does not require volunteer clearance, but it can make a meaningful difference for our school and students! Whether you’re interested in managing the PFC’s finances, organizing a fundraiser, planning a community event, or supporting behind the scenes, there’s a role for a variety of interests and skill sets.
