Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities:

HAWKS Program

Budget cuts in Northshore School District have greatly impacted Arrowhead this year and volunteers are in high need! The HAWKS Program (Helping Arrowhead’s Wonderful Kids & Staff) has a variety of ways families can donate their time to help with student safety, spend time with students, and allow staff to ensure a smooth school day.

Volunteer duties can take as little as 20 minutes or you could even spend the day!

No requirement for how many shifts you sign up for. For all roles, you must have completed your level 1 volunteer status with Northshore School District. After signing up, you will get a reminder email. At the time of your shift, check-in at the Arrowhead Front Office. You will scan you volunteer badge and staff can provide instructions for where you need to go.

Kitchen Line Support (breakfast and lunch)

The kitchen staff (Jen and Jamie) needs support with the increase of students coming in for free breakfast and lunch this year! Tasks for breakfast include: supervising students while they find their breakfast card, managing the flow of the line, and reminding them to take a fruit with each meal. Tasks for lunch include: managing the flow of the line and supporting students in knowing which lunch option they have chosen (A, B, C, D), reminding students to take a fruit with their meal, reminding students to take their lunch card back to their classroom.

Your assistance will allow Jen to focus on food safety, answer questions, and check student’s meals for potential food allergens. You get to hang out with the kids! No assistance is needed in the kitchen or with food handling.

Email with any questions, to request a recurring shift, or to sign up for a full day to help staff as needed.


Art Docent and Clay Docents

Volunteers coordinate with teachers once per month (and often rotate) to introduce children to the wonders of art appreciation.   Training is provided. We have a robust program established and we need new volunteers to take the programs over as our secondary volunteer parents graduate out.
