Volunteer Opportunities

Art Literacy brings art and artists to our students. Art Literacy lessons are taught by parents and community volunteers.  

Elementary students receive six different Art Literacy lessons, and middle school students receive three. Lessons consist of a PowerPoint presentation on an artist/culture and their work, followed by an art production. Volunteers receive training from a site-based Art Literacy volunteer coordinator on how to teach each lesson. You do not need to be an artist or have an education in art to volunteer. We welcome everyone who has a heart for teaching kids about art. All art supplies are provided. 

If you’re interested in volunteering or learning more about the Art Literacy program, please visit the Art Literacy webpage.

Thank you for supporting the arts!

What's AVID? AVID is an elective class at all the middle, high and option schools in the Beaverton School District. The class helps students develop the skills that they'll need to be successful in college and beyond. As part of the class, students participate in student-led tutorial sessions, where small groups of students come together to work through problems that they're experiencing in their core classes.

That's where you come in! We need AVID Tutors to help facilitate the conversation. Don't worry, you don't need any content or subject knowledge. You're really a coach, encouraging the students. You'll be supported by the AVID elective teacher. You can tutor either online via Zoom or in person in the classroom. The time commitment is just one hour per week. There are opportunities throughout the school day at the school of your choice. Training involves a self-paced online course. That's it! Come attend a one-hour information session and learn all about it. Sign up to receive all the information on the VID Tutor webpage.
