Volunteering is a great way to meet new people and work together for a common goal like a great event for our kids or a committee to bring unique educational opportunities to the students.
- We will be updating our current HELP WANTED opportunities on this page.
- There are often areas where we need volunteers immediately or additional volunteers to help round out a committee or event coming up soon.
- We hope you will look over what is needed and find a way to help.
- Most are short term and once you do this you’re done, we don’t hound you for more just because you offered to help once.
- Event descriptions
- Contact: Volunteering@matesmcn.net if you’re interested, and they will help you find just the right place to volunteer that works with your schedule and talents.

- Copy Helper
- Print and copy Wednesday folder flyers on Tuesday.
- On campus, any week you are available, any time of the day.
- You can sign up to be called with a specific need or set a date yourself. Very flexible. But very much needed!
- If you are already making copies for a teacher on Tuesdays, consider adding a flyer or 2 to your time in the copy room.
- Clean Up Crew
- All events we have on campus require we clean the facility before we leave that evening.
- We wanted to bring your attention to this option as it is only for about 30 min. post event.
- It is somewhat labor intensive as we haul the trash from the cans to the dumpster, and sweep floors and move tables back inside.
- With more hands on deck the easier it is and quicker we all get to go home.
