Partner with a School

• If location matters - no worries. With more than 200 schools, FCPS has the county covered.

• Our Career and Technical Education programs teach the technical applications of many occupations.

The Volunteer Learning Program (VLP) - Department of Special Services, Adult High School Completion - is looking for volunteers age 21 and over to tutor adults in reading, writing or math skills.  These are students working to obtain a high school diploma or GED, or to achieve other important goals such as entering post-secondary education or getting a better job.
