Volunteering

There are countless opportunities for Mater Dei families and alumni to be involved as volunteers at the school and in the Mater Dei community. Your active involvement in the life of Mater Dei enriches our community and our students’ Catholic School educational experience.

Volunteering at Mater Dei is also beneficial to you. It provides opportunities for parents to meet other parents and to share insights into the lives of your children and their classmates. The active involvement of our parents in the life of the school also demonstrates their interest in – and commitment to – the daily lives of our students.

Volunteering provides excellent opportunities for both parents and alumni to expand their professional and personal networks. As volunteers at Mater Dei, parents and alumni also get to really know our community, understand how we carry out our mission, and develop relationships with our faculty and administrators.
