Every event, enrichment program, teacher appreciation activity, and school tradition at Escuela Key is made possible by volunteers.

Whether you have one hour a year or a few hours each month, there's a place for every abejita in our hive.

Arlington Public Schools requires volunteers to complete the APS Volunteer Application every two years. Approval can take several days, so we encourage families to apply early in the school year.

Complete the APS Volunteer Application

After applying, watch for an email from Raptor (check your spam folder) with instructions for completing the required SafeSchools training.

Our school events are powered by volunteers, and there are lots of ways to help. Some opportunities are just a 30-minute or one-hour shift, while others may require a little more time. Some can be done from home, while others take place in person at school or at an event. Sign up for what works for your schedule—every helping hand makes a difference.

Volunteer sign-ups are added throughout the school year as each event approaches.

Looking for a way to get involved beyond individual events? We welcome volunteers throughout the year to help with committees, communications, fundraising, advocacy, family support, and other PTA initiatives.

Have a special skill or hobby? Whether you're a photographer, accountant, gardener, graphic designer, event planner, translator, or simply enjoy helping, we'd love to connect you with opportunities that strengthen our school community. 

Have a question or an idea? We'd love to hear from you!
