Do I have to be a PTA member to volunteer?

No! You do not have to be a PTA member to volunteer with concessions. We welcome parents, guardians, family members, and other eligible Stafford volunteers who would like to help.

Do I need previous concessions experience?

Not at all. No experience is required. We’ll provide instructions and help you get situated when you arrive.

Do I have to work the entire event?

No. Whenever possible, volunteer opportunities are divided into specific tasks and time slots so you can choose what fits your schedule.

Can I volunteer if my child is playing that night?

Absolutely! Choose a shift that lets you help while still watching your child play. Helping before their game, after their game, or during another team’s time slot is a great option.

When should I arrive?

Your volunteer signup will include the requested arrival time. Setup volunteers may be asked to arrive before the event begins.

What if I sign up and later realize I can’t make it?

We understand that plans change. Please let the Concessions Chair know as soon as possible so we have time to find coverage for your shift.

Where will I volunteer?

Concessions may be held at Stafford or another FISD venue where Stafford is hosting an event. Always check the location listed on the volunteer signup, since venues may vary by sport and event.

What should I wear?

Comfortable, school-appropriate clothing and closed-toe shoes are recommended. Any event-specific requirements will be shared in the sign-up details.

Can I volunteer for more than one event?

Yes! You are welcome to sign up for as many concession shifts as your schedule allows.

Will someone show me what to do?

Yes. You’ll receive instructions for your assigned role, and someone will help you get started. We do not expect volunteers to arrive already knowing how everything works.

Can students volunteer?

Student volunteer opportunities may vary by event and school or district requirements. If student volunteers are permitted for a specific event, that information will be included in the sign-up.

What do concessions volunteers do?

• Preparing and serving food

• Restocking drinks, snacks, and supplies

• Setting up the concession area

• Cleaning up after the event

• Transporting supplies

• Helping with food or concession pickups

You can choose the type of role that works best for you.
