Smith Volunteers! There is an immediate need for an Edukit Coordinator (school supply kits)! Our current PTSA lead, Francia, has fulfilled this role for the past couple of years and is moving on. She is happy to train any volunteers, so they are ready to go for this year.
Volunteer Responsibilities:
As the parent coordinator for the EduKit school supply program, you are responsible for liaising between parents/teachers at Smith and our EduKit program representative. This includes-
• emailing the teachers to update the school supply lists (by grade) ahead of the next school year,
• submitting the lists to the EduKit rep to lock down pricing so the rep can publish them on the EduKit ordering website,
• promoting EduKit with parents at Smith (Facebook, WhatsApp, etc)
• coordinating with the rep for delivering the kits to Smith in late Aug ahead of the first day of school,
• physically being on campus at Smith on the day of delivery to count kits and bring them to each grade level "pod" so they are available for students on the first day of school.
• And lastly, the role involves communication with teachers and parents during the first two weeks of school in case there are any questions about missing EduKits, return requests, etc.
Estimated Time Commitment:
Approximately 8-10 hours spread over the year. Most of this is emailing teachers and the EduKit rep at whatever time is convenient for you. The only set time commitment is ~2 hours on the day of delivery at the end of August to physically count the kits to confirm receipt.
If you are interested in taking up this role for the upcoming school year or want to know more about it, please email Francia Olaguera at folaguera@gmail.com. She will be happy to answer questions and train you for the role.
