At MacLaren, we value parental involvement, and we have many ways that parents can support the school through volunteer activities. If you wish to sign up for a particular activity, please fill out the online Volunteer Application.

All parents who volunteer in the school building or who have contact with our students will need to have a background check. This background check does not include a credit check.
Before coming to volunteer, please read the Volunteer Handbook to be familiarize yourself with the expectations that the school has for all volunteers.
Please direct any questions you may have about volunteering at the school to our Main Office at (719)313-4488.
