Volunteer opportunities

An hour helps. Every single time.

Volunteer opportunities go out through class chats right now, with online sign-ups coming soon. No minimum commitment — an hour is plenty.

Current sign-ups

Coming soon

We’re setting up online sign-ups for the year. In the meantime, watch your class chat — that is where volunteer opportunities are going out right now.

Not in your class chat yet? Ask your child’s teacher or another parent in the class to add you, or email [email protected] and we’ll help you find it.

Ways to help

Not all volunteering
happens at school

If none of the open shifts fit, one of these probably does.

  • Classroom supportHelp a teacher with a project, a party or a field trip.
  • From homeCut, sort, label, bake, print. Work that travels.
  • CommitteeJoin a standing committee and shape what the PTSA does next.
  • Donate goodsSupplies and gift cards when your calendar is full.
  • Spread the wordBring one more family from your child’s class into the PTSA.

Required before your first shift

Every volunteer must
register with M-DCPS

Miami-Dade County Public Schools requires a background check for anyone volunteering on campus. It is free, it takes about ten minutes, and everyone re-registers every school year — including if you volunteered last year.

  1. Open the M-DCPS Volunteer Registration Portal and complete the eight-step form.
  2. Under School Preferences, choose Leewood K-8 Center.
  3. Submit, then wait for approval before your first shift. The school will let you know.

Fingerprints are not needed for most PTSA volunteering. M-DCPS only requires Level 2 screening for overnight chaperones, mentors, Listeners/Oyentes, and district office volunteers. Classroom help, event days and school-site shifts do not.
