Heather and Brittany talk about the roles they play in their school communities, some misconceptions about getting involved in your PTC (or PTA, PTO, Booster Club, or whatever name your child’s school calls it), and ways to make volunteering accessible if you are a working parent or don’t like being around large groups of kids.
WHAT TO LISTEN FOR: Volunteering
- What volunteering at school looks like for Heather and Brittany
- Why being an active participant at school matters
- How being involved can help your professional skills
- How to approach a “cliquey” PTC group
THINGS WE MENTION: volunteering in the school community
- PTA moms get a bad rap. The Bitch Sesh podcast did a dramatic reading of an actual email chain from a parent group, and it’s worth a listen because it is hilarious!
- I know the last thing anyone wants is another Facebook group, but if you are involved with any kind of school events, I promise you will find PTO and PTA Leaders & Volunteers endlessly helpful.
