Mothers' Club Volunteer Interest 2025-26

Signing up simply means you're interested. You'll receive more details and can decide later if it’s a good fit for you—no pressure at all!

Volunteer Opportunities --

Participating at events or as part of a committee is a great way to be a part of the Jesuit community and meet other parents. The camaraderie and shared experiences make lifelong friendships. Please check below all committees and events that you are interested in learning about, participating in, or contributing to during the school year. Some are year-long committees and others are one-time events. Both provide a way to meet other Jesuit moms while serving our boys and the Jesuit community and having fun in the process! Your help can come in a variety of ways, such as praying at home, providing food for an event, or volunteering on the event day. Many hands make light work! Our events are successful because of people just like YOU! The events listed below include day, evening, and weekend events, so there is something to fit everyone’s schedule. We look forward to meeting you during the year!
