Volunteer Opportunities

  • PLAN A DRIVE: We welcome volunteers to foster volunteerism in their networks by organizing item drives! Each year we give away 750+ backpacks filled with school supplies for those in need. Help us give away more backpacks and school supplies by collaborating with your family, friends, or colleagues to gather items. Our wishlist includes Crayons (8 ct), Colored Pencils (12 ct), Markers, Rulers, Pink Erasers, Pencils, Glue Sticks, Composition Notebooks, Spiral Notebooks, and Folders.
  • CAMPUS ENHANCEMENT PROJECTS: From redecorating libraries to building weight rooms planting flowers outside, we have campus projects you may be interested in! We are currently building a new library at Wayside: Sci-Tech Middle school, a weight room at Wayside: Sci-Tech High School, and improving the playscape at Wayside: Real Learning Academy. Email Elizabeth at ewrona@waysideschools.org to learn more about how you and your family, friends, or colleagues can help make a difference on a Wayside Schools campus!
