Volunteer Opportunities
The Risen Christ School Volunteer Program welcomes volunteers and engages them in meaningful ways in order to contribute to the academic progress of our students and the overall success of the school. As a volunteer, you can:
- Support teachers and the learning environment
- Help students achieve their full potential while building self esteem
and confidence
- Help plan events and prepare mailings
- Be part of the fun and friendship in the Advancement Office
Whether you volunteer in an office setting or in the classroom—before, during or after school—you are a partner in the growth and success of both student and School.
Both Risen Christ families and the broader community members are important resources to the school, and we welcome you to consider volunteering at the School. Throughout the school year upcoming volunteer opportunities will be advertised in the Weekly Sun, our family newsletter, or by email.
