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

  1. Contact our Volunteer Chair to be added to our volunteer committee.
  2. 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.
  3. Come to a PTA meeting! We always highlight current volunteer needs during our monthly meetings (everyone is welcome!).
  4. 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.
