Volunteer at Berkeley Montessori School
You've heard the adage, "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" -- this rings true for the events and programs offered by the BMS Parents Association. We need your help to make it all happen. Your involvement makes the difference between dragging the kids to another forgettable school gathering and participating in a cherished family memory. And who knows? You could make a few friends and have some fun along the way!
We try to make it easy for every parent to give the requested minimum of 20 hours per year (that's only 2.5 hours per month!) The volunteer opportunities are innumerable and varied, accommodating the schedules of both working and non-working parents. Whatever your talents, interests, or availability, we have a job for you!
Please take 5 minutes to complete the online volunteer form today and get started. Filling out the form is a statement of your interests, not a binding commitment, so check as many boxes as you like -- we will help you find the volunteer opportunity that is right for you.
