Volunteer Parent Board
2024-2025 School Year

Join us! Our program depends on great leaders.
We still have a number of positions open for this school year. Please consider sharing your time and expertise by joining the WTG Parent Board.

As a co-op program, WTG only thrives with the continued support and volunteer hours of each participating family. The volunteer Parent Board takes this one step further by taking on an extra role, providing vital leadership to our community. Board members meet monthly to discuss topics such as budget, enrollment, events, marketing, safety, processes, and future improvements. Between meetings we tackle individual tasks and work together through email to accomplish goals. Board members, especially class coordinators, represent YOU and continually work to address the day to day needs of enrolled families.

Please get to know your Board and don't hesitate to contact us with questions and concerns. Board meetings are open to all families. See Board Updates for current and past agendas, meeting minutes, and budget reports. You can also support the Parent Board by continuing to volunteer for classroom and co-op responsibilities. It takes a team to make WTG possible!
