HR PTG Volunteer Opportunities '23-'24
Volunteers make our Hickory Ridge world possible! PTG could not do so many of the things we do without the helping hands of so many wonderful, amazing volunteers!! We truly appreciate each & every one of you!

Looking to get involved in our school? Take a peek at some of the opportunities available. We would love to get some committees in place to help with our events & activities so that we can continue the traditions & spark new ideas for the benefit of Hickory Ridge. There are opportunities to chair some committees (be our point person in charge of the event & planning within the provided budget for the activity) & opportunities to contribute by taking a seat on the committee to lend your helping hands. No matter your schedule, we can help you find something that fits for you! If you have any questions, please feel free to email the PTG Board at hrptg@bcsoh.org. Mark what you're interested in & someone will be in touch closer to the event to see if you can still help.

Coordinators reach out to interested committee members closer to dates of events.

**Volunteers are required to obtain a background check through the Brunswick City School District Central Office. Additional information is coming soon on this requirement.**

Need a background check for volunteering but aren't finding one that fits your needs with our BOE? Check out some other options at link below. You will need to provide a copy of BCI and FBI certificates to BCSD BOE. You can email or drop them off to the Board of Education office for verification and then your name will be added to the volunteers list.

Students with last names beginning with I - R can invite 1 adult buddy on Wednesday, October 4th. Students with last name S - Z can invite 1 adult buddy on Thursday, October 5th. Volunteers require BCSD background check as there will be time when all the buddies leave & the students are supervised by volunteers before they can enter the building to start their school day.
