Call for Volunteers
The Enrichment team is looking for Volunteers. Each enrichment class requires a Class Attendant. What are the class attendant responsibilities?
- Attend all class dates with your student and stay for the entire class.
- Arrive 5 minutes early and assist the class instructor with roll call.
- Oversee that students are not disturbing classroom materials.
- Stay after class to see that all students are picked up by an approved guardian (after school classes only).
Class attendants will be refunded a portion of the class fee after the session ends.
The Enrichment team is also looking for future instructors. We are continuing to strive to make enrichment classes more accessible to the entire Madrona Family. Using volunteer or Madrona providers is one of the ways we can do that. Please let the team know if you have an idea for an Enrichment Class you would like to add to the schedule next round.
