Volunteers play a vital role at Groves Academy. Since 1972, thousands of volunteers have donated countless hours to Groves Academy. This generous contribution of time, energy and talent is much appreciated both by Groves, who could not accomplish our many projects without volunteers, and by parents, who recognize that tuition is kept low through the efforts of volunteers.

Depending on the time of year, there may be several activities/projects to choose from. In all cases will be able to be involved at a level that is comfortable to you.

Current Volunteer Opportunities

Mailing Volunteer - Mailing volunteers help the Development & Communications office with mailings that happen periodically throughout the year. Jobs may include folding letters and other mailing inserts, stuffing letters and inserts into envelopes, sealing envelopes, putting labels on envelopes, counting and tabulating, sorting by zip code, and preparing the mailing for delivery to the Post Office. Volunteers can help for as much time as fits into their schedule. Contact Lisa at the Development Office at (952) 915-4255 for more information.

Library Volunteer - Substantial progress has been made towards the opening of the Groves Academy Library. The library’s computer is up and running and we have software that allows us to catalog books very easily, accurately and quickly. Parent volunteers are now needed to help with cataloging the books. A minimum amount of training is needed for volunteers to become proficient in cataloging (about 20 minutes), and can be scheduled to fit your needs. You don’t even need much knowledge about computers to help! We have made a rough estimate that it will take 125 volunteer hours to get our entire collection catalogued and ready to go. If you think you could help with this kind of fun and rewarding volunteer opportunity, please email Meg at prsween@comcast.net. After training, you can go to the library to catalog at times that best work for you. Please consider giving some of your time to help with this valuable project.
