Join other PSV parents in creating connection, support, and memorable experiences for families across our community.
Private School Village thrives because families show up for one another. Whether you'd like to help with Quick & Occasional Opportunities, join an Event Planning Committee, serve in a Community Leadership role, or share your Specialized Skills & Expertise, there's a volunteer opportunity that fits your interests, experience, and availability. Every contribution helps create a more connected, informed, and supportive community for PSV families.
We believe the best volunteer experiences start with the right fit, and finding that fit is something we take to heart. Volunteers in student-facing roles will complete fingerprinting and a background check prior to volunteering. Ready to jump in? The Volunteer Interest Form is your first step — and while placement isn't guaranteed, every submission is reviewed with care, matching opportunities based on organizational needs, role availability, and what works best for both you and PSV.
