Volunteer Info & Signup Options
Volunteers help make Garfield an even better school! Thank you in advance for any time you can give! Some volunteer opportunities are with the school, and others are with organizations, such as the PTSA, that support the school.
Can I volunteer right away?
Yes, if you wish to volunteer for the PTSA! (Opportunities coordinated by GHS may require an approvals process. Please read the information below.)
Getting set to volunteer
School-supervised programs
- Read about the school’s volunteer program, including the approval process.
- Get approved for volunteering. This is required for certain in-school needs and field trips, and includes a background check that may take two weeks.
PTSA events
- Check for PTSA onetime volunteer opportunities listed on SignupGenius.
- Nothing right now? Fill out PTSA volunteer signup/interests form (below)
Watch for announcements
Both the PTSA and Garfield staff will announce volunteer needs through email messages, websites and other channels. If you are receiving the PTSA eBark Newsletter or using social media such as the PTSA Facebook page or Garfield Families Facebook Group, you’ll hear about new opportunities.
