Join our dedicated team of volunteers.
Fuel Up at Perry Harrison is a volunteer run organization. All of our programs are completed by volunteers.
Volunteers entering Perry Harrison School MUST be a Level 1 approved volunteer with Chatham County Schools. Volunteers must apply and be approved volunteer each school year. The process is easy and quick!
Complete the online application each school year.
Prior to volunteering in the schools, please read CCS Volunteer Handbook, which outlines the policies and procedures for volunteers.
If your application is denied you need to contact us and cancel all volunteer time slots.

We also ask that we have a current Fuel Up Liability Waiver and Photo Release on file each year. You can click here to read, sign it and email it to chair@fuelupkids.org. Paper copies are available in the Fuel Up closet.
