The range and scope of volunteer opportunities at St. Joseph School are enormous. Every parent is a member of the Parent Teacher Guild (PTG) and is a vital resource to the school. We welcome parental involvement in a variety of activities, and we want to encourage each parent to give as much time as he or she can offer. Volunteering in the school is a great way to meet other parents and to contribute to the school in a significant way.

Welcome Ministry: Families are needed to mentor new families in the St. Joseph School community.  These families are assigned a new family in the spring and they serve as a contact throughout the school year.  Both families are encouraged to attend the New Family Picnic held in August.
