Volunteering at Marist

Volunteering is not a requirement at Marist. However, it's a great way to become part of the Marist community and get to know fellow parents, guardians and students.  We couldn't do much of the work at Marist without volunteers.  Please take a moment to look at what areas of need we have and sign up if you are available.

Why Volunteer?
"Volunteering at Marist has been wonderful! I have gotten to know the faculty and staff personally, made incredible friendships with other parents and even got to see my kiddo in his natural environment. It has made the last 4 years not just sending him to school, but joining and being part of a community. Come join us - you will get back so much more that you give." Teresa Warner, volunteer parent
