A Message from the PTA: We are Always Recruiting! There is a place for you at OV - how do you want to help?

Here's a list of some PTA Board Positions and Volunteer Opportunities. ...check back for updates!

Board Positions Needed to Fill for Next Year!


Communications Director(s) - This position’s general role is to ensure that all events and important PTA information reaches the community, including assisting committee leaders with communication strategies at OV. Maintains the OVPTA website news. Posts on social media (currently FB and Instagram). Creates and sends a monthly newsletter.  *This position can be split to fit the interests of the volunteers.

Staff Appreciation Lead: this is not a Board position, but a leadership role that we desperately  need filled. ideally we could find a person who could take the lead on all staff appreciation opportunities during the year. In normal years, the staff appreciation activities are: Back-to-School Staff Breakfast before school starts and Staff Appreciation week, including organizing and advertising signup genius for meals made by volunteers.

The following Board positions only have 1 person signed up next year. Adding an additional person to any of these roles would be amazing:

Co-Activities Director: Ideally, the Activities Chair would only oversee all committees for Activities (including Mariners and Sounders games, Kraken Ice Skating, Movie Nights, Familypalooza, Multi-cultural Night, Fall Festival) and work with committees to ensure that committees have enough volunteers and advertise. In reality, the Chair also organizes some of the events, however lead volunteers/committees are already in place for most of these tasks for 23-24.

Co-Fundraising Director: Ideally, the Fundraising Chair would oversee all committees of OV fundraising tasks (traditionally including Sponsorships, Direct Ask, Move-a-thon, Auction and Plant Sale) and work with committees to ensure that fundraisers occur and report to the Board about fundraising activities. In reality, Fundraising Chairs also run some of these events, however lead volunteers/committees are already in place for most of these tasks for 23-24.

The following volunteer positions/committees are in need of additional help next year... 

Eagle Packs: Coordinate with OV (usually OV Counselor) to determine amount of food needed. Communicate with University District Food Bank. Pick up food and organize for distribution. Recruit volunteers as needed.
