Role of a Volunteer

School volunteers may be parents/guardians, community members, senior citizens or upper grade students whose participation supports a PTA or school program, activity or event.

How much time and commitment is involved depends on a volunteer’s availability. And, it can range from one time only assignments to monthly, weekly or daily volunteer activities to meet the goals, needs and priorities of a PTA or school to help ensure student success.

• Assignments might involve activities such as:
• Tutoring and mentoring students
• Supervising lunchrooms and playgrounds
• Assisting in a class, library or school office
• Sharing a special skill or occupation to enrich classroom learning
• Preparing materials or assisting with a PTA or school program, activity or event

A Volunteer in the AMSD offers and provides a service to the school district without receiving compensation.
