VOLUNTEER AT LWE

 

Lakewood's volunteers help make so much of what happens at our school possible. No matter how much time you have to give, there's a place for you to get involved and make a meaningful impact. Here is all of the information you need to know around volunteering.

VOLY APPROVAL REQUIRED

 

DISD requires all campus volunteers complete a background check and training through VOLY. Every volunteer, every year. No exceptions.

• Any and all volunteers must be VOLY approved before they can sign up to volunteer at LWE.
• Any volunteer slots at the school and /or its outdoor learning areas must be done through VOLY.
• SignUpGenius can only be used for opportunities involving drop-offs or donated items to the front office, such as Friday teacher treats, classroom snacks / Teacher Workroom restocks, and other similar drop-off / donation items.
