Canton City Schools is proud to launch the Canton City Schools Volunteer Network, a new way for families and community members to get involved and make a difference for our students.

Volunteers can support our schools and district partners in many ways, including helping at events, supporting food pantry efforts, sharing their talents with students, recognizing staff and assisting with special projects. Opportunities may take place during the school day, after school, on weekends or during special activities.

How You Can Help

There are several ways to get involved:

District Events: Assist with planning, setup, activities and other needs during events such as Family Fun Day, holiday celebrations and other districtwide activities.

Food Pantry Support: Help pick up food, sort donations, organize supplies, stock shelves and prepare food for distribution to families.

After-School Programming: Share a special talent, hobby or skill with students through hands-on activities such as painting, dancing, crafting, cooking, music and other enrichment opportunities.

Staff Recognition and Appreciation: Help plan and coordinate activities that celebrate and recognize our teachers and staff throughout the school year.

School Support: Help organize school supplies, prepare materials and assist with special projects that support students and staff.

Volunteer Requirements and Next Steps

To become a volunteer, please keep the following requirements in mind:

• Volunteers must be at least 16 years old.

• All non-student volunteers must complete a background check. Financial assistance is available if needed.

• After submitting your volunteer application, someone from our team will contact you within 48–72 hours with information about next steps.

We are excited to strengthen the connection between our schools and the community. Every volunteer makes a difference, and together, we can create meaningful experiences and lasting opportunities for our students.
