Volunteer With Friends of Coonley

Volunteers play a key role in supporting our students, teachers, staff and families. FOC welcomes the participation of everyone interested in donating their time or expertise.
Please be on the lookout or volunteer opportunities on this web site or in email blasts.  Or email [email protected] if you are interested in developing a new volunteer role.
Below are the many committees and volunteer chairs who help Friends of Coonley fulfill its mission. Calls for volunteers are posted during the event planning stage. Click on "learn more" for details about each committee/event and to find active calls for volunteers.  

IMPORTANT: CPS Volunteer Policy
CPS now requires all volunteers to follow a few quick steps to be registered as official volunteers through the CPS online process. All event volunteers, classroom helpers, field trip chaperones and guest readers must be registered. 

Administrative Assistance

Room Reps
Room reps 
help teachers with regular communication regarding their classroom, timely school happenings, Friends of Coonley and the Local School Council. Their efforts help connect families within each classroom and strengthen the school community as a whole. Volunteer recruitment is done primarily through classroom teachers at the start of each school year.
