At St. Alphonsus, we are a community of students, parents, teachers, staff, and parishioners and we all work together for our shared success. There are countless ways you can volunteer in the school community, the parish community, and our Ballard community.
Families are encouraged to volunteer 30 hours each school year. Grandparents and extended family members are welcome to volunteer on behalf of the family, as long as Virtus training has been completed.
