Support

Building and nurturing a community school is truly a community effort, and we are deeply grateful to all of our extended "family" for their generous gifts of time, dollars and expertise. If you haven’t already, we hope you will consider joining us now, as a volunteer, as a donor of gifts-in-kind, with a gift in support of our annual campaign, or as you plan your estate.

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are the backbone of a community school and are generally drawn from, but certainly not limited to our students and family members. Won’t you consider sharing just a few hours helping with:

• Volunteer coordination
• Clerical work
