Volunteer Projects
Volunteer Projects are ways for site and community organizations to enrich our
school facilities for students without paid labor.
Maintenance, Operations, and Facilities encourages participation in Volunteer Projects. Volunteer Projects can expand your parent network, build new friendships and enhance social skills.
Examples of a volunteer project are:
- Community Service/Beautification Day – campus cleanup
- Murals/Stencils/Tile Projects
- Repainting of US Maps
- Rejuvenation of Butterfly/ Science/ School Garden
- Eagle Scout Projects
Starting a project without prior approval can create potential problems and fees that your site would be accountable for. Please contact Maintenance, Operations, and Facilities at (925) 825-7440, ext. 3804 if you have any questions regarding a Volunteer Project or the process.
To start a project at your site:
Submit Volunteer Request a minimum of 30 days prior to the desired start date.
- Fill out the form and get the Principal or Administrative Designee Signature
- Have all required documents attached to Volunteer Request:
- Project scope

Next:
- All Volunteer Requests will be review by M & O Management in alignment with collective bargaining agreements.
