Service Volunteer Opportunities
Watch D.O.G.S.
(Dads of Great Students)
All father-figures are invited to join us for a day of volunteering at JA! Do you want to make a difference at Jefferson Academy? By signing up with WatchDOGS for a day, dads, uncles, and grandpas act as positive male role models to the students of JA, while also adding an extra set of eyes to enhance security.
NEW for 2023-24! Women are also invited to volunteer, and we have half-day options as well as full-day.
Sign up for one or more days to get involved this school year. Please spread the word! The more positive role models we get involved, the more the kids at JA benefit.

Lunch Room Volunteers
Join your kids during their lunch time to help open containers, find their place to sit, and tidy after the kids have gone to recess. Younger siblings welcome!

Mileage Club
A fun way to volunteer as the kids run the track to record miles and earn prizes during their lunch recess. Each month has one special charm day, where kids earn a fun charm if they run 4 laps (1 mile). Volunteers help punch the kids' lap trackers and cheer the kids on. This is an outdoor volunteer opportunity - weather permitting. Younger siblings are welcome to join adult volunteers.
