Volunteering
The D’Evelyn Education Foundation is run entirely by parent volunteers! Hundreds of volunteers are needed each year to host social events for our students, thank-you events for our teachers, and the fundraising events held by the foundation which are critical to supporting the needs of our students.
There are opportunities to fit every schedule and many interests. Please review the volunteer areas below and feel free to reach out with any questions. Do you have a new idea or an expertise that you can bring to the table? Please let us know! KaraandCindy.DEF@gmail.com

After Prom After Prom is a big party designed to give our kids a safe place to continue Prom celebrations after the dance. It is full of fun activities like swimming, bounce houses, casino rooms, food and much more! Décor and planning for the event start early in the spring, and day-of volunteers bring it all together in a matter of hours! Volunteer opportunities include creating themed décor, ticket sales, decorating the venue, bringing food, manning activities, clean-up and more. Most roles are one-time commitments of just a few hours! The kids LOVE this event and we need many hands to pull it off! |
Pre-event Coordination (Jan-April - as much time as you want to offer) Sign up! Day-of Activities (Around 7pm, long after the kids leave for prom, activities include decoration, food delivery, casino dealers, cleanup and much more!) Signup coming soon! |

School Store The School Store is your one-stop shop for Jag spirit wear! Work as little as one shift per month, or a one-time, remote store event. This is a great way to get to know our amazing students! The store is open Tuesday and Thursday each week from 11am-1:20pm and at some school events such as football/basketball games, registration, and welcome night. |

It’s for runners and non-runners alike! Help with event coordination or day-of activities. You can help gather permits, set the course signage, be a course marshal and more! Most volunteer roles are one-time commitments. See the Sign-up for details. |

Annual Dinner Auction The Annual Dinner Auction is the foundation’s largest fundraiser and is a great way to socialize with fellow parents, teachers, and staff. This event’s success is because of the incredible volunteers who put it together. This event is critical to raising funds for the year! We are hoping to make this year's auction all new! We need new ideas, new creativity and lots of hands! We've moved the event to the spring: likely the last Friday of Feb. or first week of March. |
