Volunteering
Volunteers are among Giddens’ most valuable resources. Their influences are seen in every event we hold, in every aspect of our school. As we work together, our diverse backgrounds blend to create new ideas and excitement that help shape our community. The stronger the community, the more benefits our children receive. Please consider contributing your skills and strengths. We can’t do it without you!
Tracking your volunteer time is important for the school. Demonstrating that Giddens is supported from within is a great way of showing potential funders that we are worthy of their support. Please track your volunteer hours by signing a sign-up sheet whenever available, or by clicking onthe volunteer reporting form below. It's easy and quick! If you have donated your time to Giddens school, please let us know using our online volunteer reporting form.
One of our goals is to match the needs of our school with the strengths you offer. To help us make the best match for you, please take a look at some of the opportunities we offer. If you don’t see a perfect match, or just want more information, please contact Sheba Burney-Jones
