Who Can VOLUNTEER? - Parents, grandparents, family members, retirees, business and professional people, collage, high and middle school students. We require all volunteers to have a criminal background check.

Classroom Assistant: work with the teacher performing a variety of tasks such as copying material, assisting students with projects, helping hang art work or papers, helping with the bulletin boards, and performing other classroom tasks.

Art Assistant: work with the art teacher to set out materials for each class, assist with clean-up after class, display art work and assist children when needed.

Library Assistant: assist librarian with shelving books, helping repair/cover books, and special projects.

Special Events: events that occur once or twice a year that require volunteer assistance such as: carnival, field day, career day, movie nights, health screenings, silent auction, book fairs, etc.

After-School Enrichment: teach (or assist with) a class for students outside of the school curriculum that will allow them to experience subjects which they would not ordinarily encounter during the course of a school day. Enrichments could include, for example, clubs that run the entire year, a 4 part class, or a onetime workshop. You decide how much time you want to put into it, what grade level you want to target, and the topic and we can put together a program! Enrichments offered in the past include: cooking, bird watching, stamping & card making, craft, drama, foreign language, etc.

Lunch Buddy: have lunch once a week with a student, act as a role model by working with the student on subject matter, homework, a special project, or modeling social skills by providing a positive role model for the student.

PTO: Between the special events they sponsor the PTO is always looking for volunteers! They also sponsor Celebrate Five, Movie Nights, Carnival, Silent Auction, Fundraisers, and Cultural Events. Joining the PTO is a great way to be actively involved in your child’s school. Many of the things we do at Achilles is because of PTO funding!
