2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR
We have a number of fun events that provide a great opportunity to get involved. Some Dads will do an hour here or there. Other Dads like to volunteer for a full or half day. Whatever your involvement, it is very much appreciated.
From personal experience also - your kids will appreciate you for it and it can make them feel special to see you there at their school, doing what you do.
MacDaddies event volunteers will also get to rep our new merch - when you show up at your first event, you’ll get your own Free T-Shirt!
NOTE: To participate in activities on school campus this year, you will need to fill out the HCPS Volunteer Application linked here.

VOLUNTEER TIME OFF (VTO):
An increasing amount of companies now offer Volunteer Time Off as a perk for employees.
Volunteer Time Off, or VTO for short, is a type of benefit where employees get paid time off to do volunteer work. This typically ranges from 8 to 40 hours per year. VTO is a great way for employees to give back to their community without sacrificing a full day's wages. Check with your employer to see if you can help to create positive impact in your school community while benefiting from VTO
