Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer Coordinator

Timing: On your schedule!

What you'll do: Help to identify volunteers, in partnership with the board and event leads, to fill roles. Post needs in our website, newsletter and on Facebook, work closely with event leads, help direct new volunteers.

Best fit for: Someone who likes people and enjoys talking with them and encouraging participation.

Who can help you? Our previous volunteer coordinator would be happy to help with the transition, and our membership chair will work with you closely.

Garden Lead

Timing: On your schedule, with some weekend events

What you'll do: Help oversee the health of our school garden by directing volunteers on community cares days, overseeing the summer watering schedule, and planning and supporting any other specific projects.

Best fit for: Someone who knows what they're doing in a garden and can direct eager (but potentially novice) help.

Who can help you? Our previous garden lead would be happy to help with the transition.

Fundraising Exploratory Project Lead

Our fundraising chair is looking for someone willing to research the cost and scope of adding an undercover option as well as organizing a parent focused fundraiser earmarked for that goal in Jan/Feb sometime. This isn’t secured in the budget yet, but having someone take the lead is a key first step!

Advocacy Lead

Timing: On your schedule, potential to engage with the state and broader PTA

What you'll do: Help our BCS PTA engage more in advocacy work for our school and students.

Who can help you? While this has been a longstanding goal for our PTA, we need more focus, skills, and attention here. Make this your own, with support and partnership from the board.

Room Parent Coordinator

Timing: On your schedule and as needed, desire for PTA meeting attendance when possible

What you'll do: Serve as a liaison between the PTA and a cohort of parent volunteers who each represent a specific classroom (K-5) or grade level (6th-8th). The coordinator’s main responsibility is to manage communications and support parent volunteers so they can in turn support teacher(s) and coordinate school-wide efforts with families in their respective class/grade. We encourage you to attend PTA meetings to report on classroom activities, bubble up concerns on behalf of room/grade parents, and gather information needed for drafting communications.

Best fit for: Someone who likes people and enjoys talking with them and encouraging participation, and is comfortable with written communication.

Who can help you? Our previous room parent coordinator would be happy to help with the transition, and our communications chair will work with you closely.

Staff Appreciation Lead

We are seeking a lead for Staff Appreciation activities this year. Are you creative and organized? Do you have a couple of hours a month to take the lead on a Conference Night potluck, Stock the Staff Room treat weeks, and Teacher/Staff appreciation week in May? We already have a plan for the year and need someone to execute the details with a team of other volunteer. Email edsupport@beverlyclearyschool.org if interested.
