​Programs, Clubs, and Fundraising Positions

​A chair person is responsible for leading a project from its inception to execution. This includes planning, execution and managing the people, resources and scope of the project. These can include programs, fundraisers and clubs. Each chair person will receive support from the appropriate Board Member.

For one-time volunteer opportunities - these take place throughout the year and will only last for a short time. You would be under the direction of a chair person and will be assigned a specific job. We will send out sign ups as these events are approaching.

*These are volunteer opportunities made available by the PTA. In addition, Laurel Park Elementary School provides volunteer opportunities within the school such as copy crew, media center and classroom volunteers. For more information on LPES volunteer positions, please contact your student's teacher.
