Volunteer

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Risen Christ Catholic School!

Why Volunteer?

Volunteers impact the school every day. Whether they volunteer in an English or Spanish classroom, the office or at special events they are strengthening the service of the school and changing the lives of the students.

We welcome volunteers from all sectors of the community who want to share their time and talents with the students, teachers and school programs.  As part of the Risen Christ School community, volunteers strengthen and elevate the mission of the school.

Quotes from students and faculty

  • “I will always remember how you helped me.” – 5th grader

  • “The Annual Gala runs so smoothly thanks to the hard working volunteers.” – Staff
  • “The volunteer’s ability to relate current events to the students, while providing them with the extra reading help they need is amazing.” – Middle School Teacher
