Get Involved at Carthay

To volunteer in the classroom, chaperone field trips, and help with other on-site school events, LAUSD requires you become an approved registered volunteer — click here for step-by-step instructions.

Once you’ve been approved, head here to find an upcoming volunteer opportunity!

It Takes a Village

At Carthay, we believe that dance, PE, and community gardening are just as important as learning the basics of math and reading. Unfortunately, many of these valuable enrichment activities are not funded by the district.

As Carthay’s community, it’s up to ALL of us to build a well-rounded school experience for our students — head here to donate and learn more about where your contributions go!

This Year’s Goal = $90,000
