- teacher's assistants

More volunteer jobs will be added as needed!

If there's a certain area you'd like to help out in, please add your comments. No need to make a commitment now! We will be contacting everyone on the volunteer mailing list at a later date with specifics (ie. duties for each job, time slots etcetera).

Thanks again everyone and pleaser remember TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE EVENT!!! :)
