Class Act Handbook 2012-2013 - Pacific Symphony

Your School’s Volunteer Commitment
For All Levels
As you know, the success of the Class Act partnership is dependent on the efforts of
your School Team. Many of your team members are volunteers, and your Parent
Coordinators will most likely recruit additional volunteers to assist with on-site Class
Act activities throughout the year. These volunteers are invaluable to the successful
implementation of the partnership, and we would like to say a big “thank you” in
advance!
In addition to the work your team members and other volunteers will undertake on
your school campus, all Level II schools are required to supply TEN VOLUNTEERS
to assist at either the end-of-the-year Youth Concerts or at Saturday morning Family
Concerts. Level II schools will be given a form to request desired volunteer dates at
scheduling meetings, and volunteer assignments will be made in early December. You
may choose to have some of your volunteers work at Youth Concerts and others at
Family Concerts. You may also choose to have volunteers work on different dates.
Volunteer confirmation details will be sent via email, to the person listed as the
Contact on your sign up form at Level II schools, a few weeks in advance of their
volunteer experience. They will include maps, job descriptions, and other helpful
information. In the meanwhile, Level II schools should look over the “cheat sheets”
on the next few pages. You’ll find answers the most frequently asked questions about
fulfilling your 10-person volunteer commitment.
These cheat sheets are primarily intended for Parent Coordinators, as they are
responsible for volunteer recruitment. Other team members may also want to use
them as a tool to identify ways they can support Parent Coordinators in their efforts.
Although providing volunteers is a requirement for Level II schools, we welcome
anyone and everyone to inquire on volunteering opportunities with Pacific Symphony if
interested.
