Volunteer Opportunities
THANK YOU for your interest in volunteering!
WOM depends on the regular help of many, many volunteers who donate their time and energy to helping in classrooms, developing our outdoor space, raising much-needed funds, and working behind the scenes on policy issues.
Please see below for all the ways we can use your help.
Classroom & Campus Volunteering
Teachers rely on classroom volunteers to help out during lunch, recess, and enrichment activities so they can take much-needed lunch breaks and have time to plan with their co-workers. We also need help transporting and chaperoning students for field trips. At-home volunteering tasks include washing classroom rags or rugs or cutting classroom materials. Please note that classroom and field trip volunteers will all be asked to submit information for a background check (start the process below by completing the Volunteer Profile Form).
Other campus-wide volunteer roles might include adopting a raised bed garden, the entrance sign garden, or the flower pots out front or taking unclaimed lost & found items to the PTA Thrift Store on a monthly basis. Please email info@willowoakmontessori.org if you are interested in one of these tasks.

Please reach out to Classroom teacher about non-classroom related volunteering such as rag/rug washing, getting library books, classroom communications (ie, Room Parent), organizing or setting up teacher lunches, or laminating/cutting help.
Accessibility, Belonging & Community Support (ABC) Team
Excited about helping more students and families access all that WOM has to offer? Looking for a meaningful way to give back? The ABC Team may be for you!
The Accessibility, Belonging & Community Support (ABC) Team brings together students, teachers, staff, families, Board members, and community members to identify barriers, gather input, and strengthen access and support across Willow Oak. Our work may include helping families access resources like aftercare, field trips, transportation, food assistance, and other resources that support full participation in school life—as well as community outreach to help more families learn about WOM.
There are opportunities to participate at different levels, from attending monthly meetings to helping with specific projects or representing WOM at community events. We’d love for you to join us! Complete the ABC Team Interest Form to let us know how you’d like to participate.
