Duties might include making phone calls, stuffing mailings, setting up/staffing/taking down special events, follow-up data entry and more.
Second, you can help in a school department and assist with duties associated with the day-to-day operations of our school staff if assistance is needed. Let us know where your strengths lie and we’ll see if we can find you a volunteer job that suits your schedule. The following are some specific programs where parents or alumni can get involved.

You can also contact your college or university to see if you can represent them at the Saint Ignatius College Fair, held each spring for junior students! There is truly something for everyone to do!
Please note that all volunteers, no matter what the job, must undergo a background check prior to helping out. The form is available in the “Employment” section of the school Web site, available by clicking here.
Finally, just be present in the school community. When was the last time you came to watch an Ignatius soccer game or a Harlequins musical? When was the last time you came to Open House, the auction, or played in the Golf Classic? We want to see you at our many events during the year because your presence and time are the most precious gifts you can give to our students. You are some of the best ambassadors for the mission of the school.
