Volunteer

Mountain Pathways parents agree to provide 30 hours of volunteer service to the community as part of their yearly contract.

These hours can be contributed on community workdays (held twice yearly, the Saturday before school starts in August and another Saturday in April after the winter is finished with us), by planning, organizing, and working at our annual festivals, or by providing assistance as needed with building and grounds or in the classrooms.

We also offer volunteer opportunities to individuals in the area who do not have children at the school. Many Appalachian State students complete internships at our facility in the classrooms, the afterschool program, through counseling, tutoring or other educational areas. All volunteers must submit to a criminal history check, and will be supervised by a member of the staff throughout their tenure with the school.

Parent Teacher Organization
This group actively fosters the well-being of the School by coordinating productive communication, volunteer work, and fund-raising events for the purpose of student and teacher development. The PTO oversees the school’s community events throughout the year.

Current Volunteer Needs

Substitute Teachers: We are always in need of substitute teachers. If you think you could help out on occasion as a sub in one of our classrooms, email the office@mountain-pathways.org to learn more about substituting. All substitutes must have a background check and go through an orientation process.

Buildings and Grounds Needs: Email buildinggrounds@mountain-pathways.org to inquire about specific volunteer opportunities.

Committees: We have several standing committees that need volunteers each year: development, finance, and personnel. Learn more about committees. If you are interested in serving on a committee, please contact the committee chair or the Board Chair at chair@mountain-pathways.org.
