Volunteer with 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?

• MCPE is seeking new board members to serve a 3-year team beginning in May 2021.
   

• 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, can last 2-3 hours.
   

• 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 2021-22 Board will open on January 15, 2021, and will close on March 8, 2021.
