PTA Tools - Volunteer

Broadview-Thomson and the PTA love volunteers! Thank you for your interest!

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to our Volunteer Page! We have tons of opportunities for you to volunteer. Please take a look below on how you can help your school out. All volunteers need to be SPS approved. If you are new to volunteering or need to renew: https://www.seattleschools.org/departments/volunteer/volunteer-application-process/. It takes about 2 weeks, so even if you aren’t seeing something now, please go through the process of being approved. It will come in handy for when you volunteer for school field trips. If you have any questions about the volunteer approval process, please reach out to Cathy Donohue at cldonohue@seattleschools.org.

Thank you,

Lindsae Kroeger
