Make an impact in Nashville’s Schools.
PENCIL Connect is a free online platform that promotes volunteerism in Nashville’s public schools. PENCIL Connect provides a space where partners can offer their expertise, time, and service to individual Metro schools and classrooms.
How to get involved in the PENCIL Connect community:
Volunteer at a school
We post hundreds of in-school volunteering opportunities year-round on PENCIL Connect, with a variety of age ranges, tasks, and locations across Nashville.
Volunteer at the DG PENCIL Box
Through the hard work of Nashville community volunteers, we have been able to distribute over $25m in classroom supplies to Metro Nashville Public School educators. Volunteering at the DG PENCIL Box is a great work to see our work in action.
