The Walla Walla Catholic Schools recognize and appreciate the need for volunteer work as an essential part of the total commitment to our Catholic School community. Volunteer efforts greatly offset the need for increased tuition, parish subsidies or fund raising activities. With this in mind, each school family is asked to commit volunteer hours to the school system.
Each family registered in the school system will provide 25 or more hours of volunteer service each year (July 1 – June 30). Volunteer commitments must be met within the year and cannot be used for another year. Families can apply up to 5 hours of driving time from their required hours. Family members are responsible for reporting accurate volunteer activities.
Please utilize our signup.com opportunities to track activities. Any activities completed outside of what is available via signup.com should be emailed to volunteer@thewwcs.com. Please include family name, hours worked and the activity.
The school principal will review reported volunteer activities during registration. Families who choose not to participate may instead pay an opt out fee of $425.
There are many ways to give of your valuable time within the WWCS system, three critical volunteer activities that we ask all community members to participate in are:
Watch the weekly WWCS e-newsletters for other volunteer opportunities and to sign up for many of the groups, activities and events listed below. Please note that parents working with children will be required to complete a Washington State Patrol background check and attend a Code of Conduct meeting. Code of Conduct must be updated online annually.
Volunteer hours should be emailed to volunteer@thewwcs.com or reported using this form.
