💙 Volunteer with Cochrane PTA

Our school is better because of volunteers like you! Whether you have an hour to give, can help with a special event, or want to be more involved throughout the year, there’s a place for you at Cochrane.

Before volunteering at school, please make sure you have a JCPS background check on file. Once you’re cleared, check this page regularly for current volunteer opportunities and ways to lend a hand.

📚 Scholastic Book Fair Volunteers

Our Book Fair is coming September 14–18, and we need volunteers to help make it a success! Volunteers can help students shop, keep things organized, and make the Book Fair a fun experience for everyone.

There are lots of ways to get involved at Cochrane — and they don’t all require a big time commitment!

🙋 How Do I Volunteer?

Volunteer opportunities will be shared throughout the school year through our PTA website, newsletter, and social media. Keep an eye out for sign-ups as events and projects get closer.

You don't have to be a PTA member to volunteer, and you don't have to volunteer to be a PTA member. We appreciate every kind of support!
