Development Volunteer Opportunities

Building connections with parents, alumnae/i, and new families, as well as the resources to make a Bush education possible, the Development Office depends on approximately 100 volunteers to help pave the way for our school's future!

  • Annual Fund

    Posted: September 6, 2006

    The Bush School Annual Fund raises almost three quarters of a million dollars for the operating budget. We need energetic extroverts to help us reach this goal! Volunteers meet in late spring and August. They are assigned a list of current parents, usually in their children's classes to solicit donations by phone and letter. There are also volunteer leadership positions who oversee grade-level volunteers. These are critical volunteer positions for the school's development programs.
