Volunteer Committees

Home / Spring Volunteering / Volunteer Committees

We need volunteers!

By the nature of being part of high school, there is a consistent need for new parents to join the PA. Our kids are here for four years, and so are we! So, even as a parent of an incoming freshmen, it’s always the perfect time to join in. Browse through this list of committees and teams and identify one that sounds interesting. Then, send an email. This is your chance to meet other parents and contribute to your child’s incredible journey at Bronx Science.
