GENTS (Guys Engaging and Nurturing Tomorrow's Scholars) is a PSE's men's volunteer group.
Our goals are simple:
Give students more opportunities to interact with positive male role models.
Lend a hand at key school events like the Winter Carnival.
We’re starting small — just one hour a week from one male volunteer on campus—and we’ll grow from there.
After you sign up, we'll be in touch to confirm your role and schedule.

The cafeteria would love to welcome parent volunteers to help with lunch monitor duties. Volunteers will assist with everything from opening those pesky juice boxes to encouraging positive behavior with a smile!
Lunchtimes have been extended this year! Students will now be in the cafeteria from 10:20 to 12:51.
FRIDAYS NEED MORE HELP!!!
Can't stay the whole time? No problem! We welcome any amount of help — feel free to sign up even if you can only stay for part of your selected slot.
