Parents are more likely to "order up" when they see volunteer options that fit their availability. That's why we created a free Volunteer Menu Canva template. With clear choices on the menu, parents are more likely to say yes.

Declining volunteerism is one of the biggest challenges parent groups face today. Parents are busier than ever and a vague "we need help!" call can feel overwhelming. That's why we created The Volunteer Menu, to make volunteering feel simple and approachable. Parents can pick a quick "appetizer" (like copying flyers), a hearty "main" (like chairing an event committee), or a convenient "takeaway"(like making Canva templates from home). By serving up opportunities as appetizers, mains, and takeaway options, parents can choose the role that best fits their schedule. Clear choices mean more "yeses," more helping hands, and a stronger school community.
