VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
FRIGHT NIGHT: Our major volunteer need at this moment is for Fright Night Co-Chairs/Chair. This is our main fundraiser of the year and is scheduled for October 28th. For those of you who are new to Fugett, this is a ticketed evening event that takes place at the school and includes a haunted house/pizza and snacks/DJ. This event is a well-oiled machine and all of the subcommittee chairs have been filled. The main job of the Chair is to communicate with committees, volunteers, and staff to coordinate and to confirm everything is getting done. This position comes with very detailed instructions. We love this yearly event, but will have to cancel it this year if we cannot find someone to help us lead it. If you are interested or if you have any questions please email fugettpto@gmail.com.
LUNCH: Another fun volunteer opportunity is helping at the school store during the students' lunch periods. Please click the link below for more information and to sign up.
VOLUNTEER FORM: If neither of these opportunities are right for you, but you would love to volunteer in the future, please take a moment and fill out our volunteer form here.
