Organizational Level
These volunteer jobs require a longer term (at least one school year) commitment to the NES PTA. These are usually leadership roles, ranging from board member openings to event coordinators. Many will require a BVSD Level 2 volunteer clearance. If you are a registered member with NES PTA, we will pay for your annual screening.
 | Grant Writer The NES PTA primarily raises funds from the generosity of the NES and greater Nederland community. With the money that we raise, we are able to provide grants to teachers, allowing them to buy supplies to enhance their classroom experience. We also fund field trips, outdoor events, staff appreciation, and community events. We would like to do more for our school and community. The NES PTA is looking for someone to assist with identifying and writing grants that will allow us to expand our support of NES and community through existing and new programs. Contact Sierra at fundraising@nespta.com |
 | Classroom Liaisons Classroom liaisons serve as direct link between the NES PTA and a specific classroom. This role ensures critical information is communicated to teachers and helps organize the winter gear totes ahead of SHRED. Contact Erin at president@nespta.com Contact Jess at treasurer@nespta.com |
