Volunteer

Here is where you will find volunteering opportunities for all classes. Your class representative can post here and send notifications through our CMBC mailing lists about forthcoming opportunities. As you become more involved in your student’s program here at Castillero, please consider volunteering - our program is driven by parental participation, and we couldn't organize or present all the concerts, events, and activities without YOUR help.

 

These are the wonderful parents who are this year's class representatives for our programs:

PLEASE NOTE: All families and community members must follow the SJUSD process detailed below in order to volunteer on campus and at school sanctioned events.

 

CMBC board Positions

The CMBC Board currently has an open co-fundraising board position and is also actively looking for a band representative for the 2024-2025 school year. Also, the communications board position and current orchestra representative will graduate out at the end of this school year, so if you are interested in taking over next year, we'd love to have you get involved now and learn the ropes!

 

To learn more about CMBC and these positions, please contact us at cmbcpresident@gmail.com.
