Volunteering

The truth is, our school doesn’t run without the help of volunteers. The time and talents of our CCM families are vital to the success of not just the wealth of enrichment activities and special opportunities your children enjoy at CCM, but to the school, itself. Without you, there is no us!

That’s why we need you to get involved! Please volunteer your time to help us continue to provide this wonderful, nurturing learning environment and variety of exciting opportunities for your kids. You can commit to a committee on an ongoing basis, or for a particular event, fundraiser, project, or period of time. We’re flexible and want to work with you!

Steps to becoming a volunteer:

In order to complete these steps and sign-up for volunteer opportunities, you will need to be registered with ParentSquare. More information can be found here.
