After School Enrichment (ASE) Committee

GEt involved:

Yes! It takes hundreds of volunteer hours each session to organize and run the ASE program. We are a small committee of parents and would love additional help.

  • **Communications: 1 person, 4-6 hours per month/around registration, 1-2 hours/month subsequently. Work with the team to communicate with families on all aspects of ASE (website, session catalog, email, text blasts, surveys, fundraising, and event outreach).

  • **On-site volunteers: Do you have 1.5-2 hours available to help run check-in and check-out one day a week (Monday, Tuesday or Thursday) during the ASE session? On-site volunteers work with school staff to make sure each class session goes smoothly and students are checked-in and checked-out safely.

  • Class Development/Planning: 1 person, 4-8 hours/month year round. Work with the team to conceive and develop class offerings for each session. This includes working with school administration, class vendors, Hawthorne teachers, and parent/student instructors to set up classes, organize the schedule and coordinate the scholarship program.

  • Registration/Session Management: 1 person, 5 hours lottery, 30 min/day for 3 weeks around registration. Work with the registration team to manage and run the registration process (lottery, waitlist management, assisting families with registration and questions), and sessions-in-progress (on-site volunteers, rosters, family questions, etc).

  • ASE Instructors: Are you a teacher, family member or student interested in teaching a class? We have teams of volunteers teaching classes each session in areas such as sports, crafts, chess and environmental education. Come work with our Hawthorne kids and share your skills and hobbies!
