Use this district-wide directory of volunteer position descriptions to:
Recruit, place and guide volunteers where they are needed to make an impact on critical school and district goals like Attendance, Family Engagement, Student and Staff Wellness, Reading and Math Scores, and more!
Evaluate the effectiveness of your volunteer program and the projects that support it.
This is a shared district-wide resource. We encourage you to:
Keep a school Volunteer Program binder either electronically or in a binder that can be accessed by your Principal and other staff who are working with you and can serve to provide sustainability for your Volunteer Program.
Tailor position descriptions to your school's unique needs and add them to your school's binder to ensure consistency and continuity for your entire team.
Use the Position Description Template to create and add new volunteer position descriptions to your school's portfolio.
Check back often! We will continually add position descriptions to the Directory as you complete them.
Reach out anytime we can assist you with building and sustaining a goal-aligned volunteer program at family.engagement@aps.edu.
