FAQ’s

Q: If I volunteer for PGEA, does that mean I won't have time to watch my favorite show on Netflix?

A: Absolutely not! Binge-watching is encouraged. You can volunteer as little or as much as you want. Even helping for 1 or 2 hours per event would be so helpful!

Q: I work full time and am so busy with soccer, gymnastics, and all the things. How can I help?

A: We hear you because we are all in the same boat! There are plenty of ways that you can donate just a few hours of your time, even one time per year. We're always looking for help during community events (Movie Night, Trunk or Treat, The Sock Hop, and more). Watch for our volunteer sign-ups. And, if you'd like to get more involved, please let us know!

Q: I am kind of introverted, can I still volunteer with PGEA?

A: Absolutely! PGEA is made up of a diverse, welcoming group of parents! It's totally okay if you are shy. Please come to a meeting and experience how friendly everyone is!
