Attention Volunteers
-
Millbrook High School is looking for volunteers to mentor and/or tutor students. MHS has a variety of mentor programs that assist students with skills such as academic work, confidence, leadership, life skills, relationships, and preparing for their future. Many of our programs could use volunteers to enhance their missions. Tutors for the core academic subjects are in high demand. If you would like to help, please contact the individual responsible for the programming below.
Volunteers must be approved after a background check completed in the MHS Media Center on Mondays.
In the tabs below, you will find detailed information on support groups serving Millbrook students.
Further questions and inquiries can be directed to Vanessa Barnes, Dean of Students at vbarnes@wcpss.net
Thank you in advance for considering helping one of our young Wildcats!
