We invite you
to help us achieve our mission!
 The
City School District of Albany welcomes volunteers to lend their skills
and experience to a wide range of activities that support teachers and
staff in all of our schools and throughout the district. An important
part of the district's
2008 strategic plan, our volunteer program aims to build and nourish
deeper community connections that benefit all of our students.
Anyone can volunteer in our schools --
parents, grandparents, college students, community members of all ages.
Everyone has something to offer and we invite you to think about ways
that your time and talents can assist the district in its mission to
educate and nurture all students to be responsible citizens, critical
thinkers and lifelong learners to successfully compete in the global
community. We are committed to finding the right fit for each
volunteer's interests and experience.
To find out more about how you can get
involved as a volunteer, please contact School Volunteer Coordinator
Fiona Thompson at (518) 454-3987, ext. 465. You also can download a
volunteer application form at the link below, or pick one up in the main
office of any of our schools.
We also invite you to contact the
Albany City Council Parent-Teacher Association or
individual school PTAs to find out how you can get involved.
