Volunteer with MCPE

Are you looking for a way to give back to Medfield Public Schools? Consider joining Medfield Coalition for Public Education (MCPE).

What does MCPE do?

  • MCPE is an independent, non-profit organization funded to provide system-wide support and academic enrichment for the Medfield Public Schools, with particular attention to academic needs that exceed the parameters of the school budget. 
     

  • MCPE raises money and awards grants written by staff, teachers, administrators and counselors to support the development of innovative programs, curriculum, and enrichment.

Why join?

  • MCPE offers a fun way for you to connect with teachers, school administrators, and parents of children in all grades. 
     

  • Board Members lead efforts to raise funds for our K-12 schools, and the Board has the privilege of evaluating grant requests and deciding what grants will receive funding. It’s a very rewarding experience.

What opportunities are available?

  • The application process for the 2022-23 Board will open in February 2022.
     

  • Short-term volunteer opportunities are available to plan and execute special events.

What is the time commitment for board members?

  • The time commitment required to join the Board can be organized to fit the schedules of both stay-at-home and working parents. 
     

  • Each Board member is required to attend a monthly meeting September-May. These meetings, typically held the second Tuesday of each month and usually run about 2-3 hours long.
     

  • Each Board member is assigned roles for the year, based on interest, individual schedules, and needs of the board.

What is the application process?

  • The application process for the 2023-24 Board will open in February 2023. Those interested in joining the board will be invited to apply online at that time, and a member of the board will follow up with you to discuss your application.
