Volunteer Opportunities

What is The Preuss Volunteer Program? 

The Preuss School is both a middle and high school, with classes taking place from 8:55 am - 4:00 pm. Each school year we look for dedicated volunteer tutors and interns who want to make a difference in the lives of our students. We do not require a certain number of minimum hours from our volunteers, as we appreciate any service time you are able to volunteer.

Tutor positions are available in many classroom subjects such as English, math, science, history, and spanish. 

Internships are available in various departments including Finance, Student Services, and Registrar.  Interns do not work directly with students, but they insteat provide assistance with data entry, filing, updating documents, and/or help with organizing events.
