Volunteer Opportunities
All volunteers at Northampton Elementary School must complete the volunteer application process through Klein ISD. Once you become an approved volunteer, you will be added to our email distribution list. As opportunities for volunteers become available, our entire volunteer list will be contacted and you can commit to the opportunities that are suitable for you through the online Sign-Up Genius software. This allows us to easily organize our volunteers' time and allows our volunteers to choose the opportunities that they want to commit to. We are very grateful for the gift of your time! For questions regarding volunteering, please contact Nicole Davis.
