Volunteer Orientations - Fall 2025

New volunteer? Returning volunteer?

(Been meaning to submit a formal volunteer application through LAUSD but haven't gotten to it yet?)

Then the volunteer orientation is for you! All interested individuals are encouraged to attend one of the in-person volunteer orientations happening this fall.

This orientation is an LAUSD requirement for all volunteers, and is a great option for folks who want to support campus activities, or can't commit to longer-term event chair responsibilities.

It takes all kinds of volunteers to keep our Wolfpack strong, and parents on campus are in high demand—and greatly appreciated.
