    Description

    Donuts for Grown-Ups is a beloved Whitman Elementary tradition where students share a special morning treat with the grown-ups in their lives. As the event continues to grow, we rely on volunteers to help create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for our families.

    We’re looking for friendly, reliable volunteers to support the event and help it run smoothly. This is a great opportunity for individuals who enjoy community engagement, early-morning energy, and creating joyful experiences for kids and their families.

    Volunteer Roles May Include:

    • Event Setup: Arrange tables, signage, coffee stations, and donut displays.
    • Coffee & Donut Support: Assist with organizing, prepping, and replenishing food and beverages.
    • Greeting & Wayfinding: Welcome families, direct guests to the gym, and help manage check-ins.
    • Sign-In Support: Monitor and assist with the guest sign-in process.
    • General Event Help: Provide support wherever needed to keep the event running smoothly.
    • Cleanup: Help reset the space once the event concludes.

    What You’ll Gain:

    • A fun and uplifting way to support local students
    • Hands-on event experience in a school community setting
    • The joy of seeing families start their morning with connection and celebration

    Who We're Looking For:

    Volunteers who are punctual, friendly, organized, and comfortable helping in a busy environment. No experience required—just a willingness to help and a positive attitude!

    If you enjoy creating welcoming spaces and supporting community-building events, we’d love to have you join us!
