Overview of Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer at community and school events
(ad hoc support)
Volunteering at school and community events does not require an on-going commitment and is a great way to get involved when you have availability. Opportunities will be posted on the calendar page of the website and listed here, with specific information about how to sign up for current opportunities.
Community and school events may include events such as:
Community meeting(s)
Black History Month celebration
Move-a-thon
Multicultural night
Volunteer in the school
(ad hoc and on-going support)
Volunteering in the school can benefits from an on-going commitment, but is not always the case. As a first step, note that to volunteer directly with students in the classroom, you must complete the SPS volunteer application process. Current volunteer opportunities will be highlighted on this page as the year progresses.
School-based volunteer opportunities may include opportunities such as:
Regularly scheduled volunteering in a consistent classroom to support student learning
As hoc support for classroom needs - e.g., laminating, stapling, and organizing papers
Volunteer with the PTA
(on-going Support)
The PTA has currently identified two primary opportunities for volunteer support (in addition to the opportunities already highlighted above). These are:
Joining an existing PTA committee or project
Leading a new PTA committee or project
Please visit our about page here to see a list of existing and unfilled committee opportunities.
