Volunteer
Our school community runs on the support of volunteers like you!
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 to begin the LAUSD volunteer process. NOTE: You must complete the form EVERY YEAR. You are also required to get a TB Test every three years.
Once you’ve been approved, head here to volunteer for an upcoming event!
Support Carthay
At Carthay, we believe that dance, PE, and community gardening are just as important as learning the basics of math and reading. Unfortunately 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 learn more about what specifically the PTA does and how to help.
