Volunteer Opportunities

We are so happy you are visiting our Volunteer Opportunities page. This means you're looking for ways to become a part of our school's community! Everyone has different schedules and circumstances, so we offer something for everyone! 

Please fill our our Volunteer Interest Survey and check out the current opportunities below. And remember, each time you volunteer, log your hours (and see if your company donates for hours served)!

Have you ever wondered why Meridian asks volunteers to log their hours? Here’s why:

  • It helps families to see how engaged our community is, and inspires others to become more involved.

  • It demonstrates to our children our commitment to their education, and they see the positive impact those hours can make. 

  • It helps Meridian acknowledge our volunteers and all that you do.

  • Involved families, including data on hours volunteered, reflects well on potential grants!

So, have you done -- AND logged -- your 20 (or more) hours? Log your hours today and enjoy perks like lunch with your students and more! To earn your lunch perk, you must log your hours.

Not sure how many hours you have logged? You can check your email for a confirmation from Google Forms, subject: ViP Volunteer Hours. You may send a quick note to [email protected] for a total of your hours to date.

New: Afternoon carline parking space drawing.

Want to skip afternoon carline?
Every volunteer that completes and logs 20 volunteer hours will be entered into a monthly drawing for a special parking space to skip afternoon carline for a whole month! Volunteers earn one entry per 20 hours. Entries roll over to the next month for those not selected.
 
Drawings will take place at the begging of each month, so start volunteering and log those hours!
 

Lunch date with your student

How do I schedule lunch with my student?
Parents and guardians who log 20 volunteer hours will be eligible to schedule a lunch date with their student(s). Lunch dates will take place at either the courtyard (primary) or the patio (secondary).
 
Beginning in October, Volunteers in Partnership will send out a sign up at the beginning of each month to those who have completed 20 hours or more and invite those volunteers to have lunch with their students. Lunches must be scheduled in advance so that teachers and staff can make the appropriate arrangements for your child.

Ongoing Opportunities

Morning Carline
 
We are looking for helpful and friendly volunteers during morning carline. Providing drivers and walkers with reminders of the rules and opening the doors for our younger students is an important job. No sign up is needed. Just show up as close to the start of carline as you can and try to stay until at least 8 a.m. This is a great before-work volunteer opportunity! This also helps relieve our teachers and staff to allow them time to be inside to prepare for their students. 
 
Athletics
 
Want to help at a Meridian sporting event. Athletics is always looking for interested parents to help with concessions, scoring, game admissions, clock managers and more! Check with athletics for opportunities.
 
 
Meridian Chicken Care
 
Did you know that we have chickens on campus? Our primary students love seeing them out in their yard during recess and they offer a valuable care opportunity for some of our secondary students. We have an amazing group of parent volunteers who have formed a Chicken Committee. This committee oversees chicken care. If you are interested, reach out to Friends of Meridian. 
 
Primary Lost and Found
 
Our primary students leave items behind every day! Volunteers can help keep it as organized as possible. View the sign up here.
