Volunteer at Madison

Welcome to Madison’s 2025/2026 school year! We’re excited for a new year. We will be back in full swing with volunteer opportunities. The Volunteer areas where we need help throughout the year include field trips, evening events, Career Day, and some student-led day events like the Bulldog Bash, Field Day, and more. Notices will be sent out through Madison channels to recruit volunteers for events.

New this year all volunteers must be invited by a SPS employee to help with a specific volunteer event/task. Volunteers must be SPS approved/eligible 2 weeks prior to the volunteer event/task.
