Programs Volunteer Coordinator Needed

Please consider helping out!

This is a behind-the-scenes position that requires project-based work and can be done at home. This individual is NOT required to attend PTA meetings and does not have to be on school campus for the work involved. Basically we need an organized individual who can collect, organize and consolidate a list of all parent volunteers based on Jump Start Day volunteer forms that were submitted, classroom sign-up sheets and other misc. sign up lists. When a PTA program or department is need of volunteer help, the Volunteer Coordinator will share the appropriate list of volunteer names to that program/department when requested.

Please contact Tina Ochoa at vpprograms@strandwood.org or tb-ochoa@att.net if you are willing and interested in helping out!
