Welcome

I would like to invite you to become a volunteer at one or more of our Hardin County Schools or HCS departments - giving a student or staff member your precious time and sharing your special talents.  You will bring students new experiences, expand their world of adult friendships and be a positive influence in their lives.

You could be part of several hundred Hardin County Schools’ volunteers who provide countless hours of service to help enrich learning opportunities and make a difference in a student's education.

We welcome all parents, grandparents and community members to be a part of Hardin County Schools’ Volunteer Program. Everyone can make a difference in our community and the future of this Commonwealth and nation.

I sincerely hope that as an HCS Volunteer you find the experience as rewarding for you as it will be for an HCS student. If you have any questions, please contact me.
