Volunteer Help Wanted

Welcome to the David Douglas School District Volunteer Help Wanted section. Just like a newspaper's help wanted section, this page is designed to match people looking to volunteer in our schools with specific volunteer needs in our schools.

Click here to view Volunteer Procedures.

Especially as school budgets shrink, we know many of our community members want to help, but they may not know what they can do, or what needs exist. Sometimes a neighbor may walk into a school offering to help, but the school isn't prepared with an immediate task or duty for them. Hopefully, this Help Wanted Section will make it easier for both the school and potential volunteers.

We will post specific volunteer needs from our schools below, with contact information. As those positions are filled, the postings will be removed and new ones added as new needs arise. So keep checking back.
