Volunteer
We want volunteering to be fun and easy to fit into your schedule. That’s why we have volunteer opportunities suitable for just about any skill set and schedule. Whether you want to volunteer for a few hours at a community event or you’re looking for a way to pitch in on an ongoing basis, we’ve got something for you. Many of these roles can be done remotely.
How to get started
- Contact our Volunteer Chair to be added to our volunteer committee.
- If you haven’t already, join Konstella. We post announcements and committees there so you’ll be notified when there are new opportunities to help.
- Come to a PTA meeting! We always highlight current volunteer needs during our monthly meetings (everyone is welcome!).
- If you’d like to volunteer during school hours, you’ll also need to complete an SPS volunteer application (or ensure yours is up-to-date). Learn more here.
Current needs
We have open positions that we are looking to fill!
- Winter After School Programs Helper (3+ volunteers): Our Winter After School Programs can’t happen without volunteer support. Volunteer duties are unlocking classrooms, helping with attendance and pick-up, and acting on-call to support instructors (if needed). Volunteers mainly hang out in the school building and read a book, catch-up on work, or just enjoy some quiet time. Our winter program runs from 1/27 – 3/28 and we’re seeking volunteers for Mondays (2:10 – 3:30pm), Tuesdays (2:10 – 4:00pm), and Thursdays (2:10 – 3:30pm). The Program team will help you complete an additional background check. You will also receive a scholarship to enroll your student(s) in one of our winter programs.
