WES relies on volunteers to offer a range of activities for our students, parents, and faculty/staff. AND it's a great way to meet people! Please take a few moments to complete the form below to indicate your volunteer preferences.

Please indicate the areas where you or your partner/spouse can help us out - and use the space at the end of this form to submit the names of people you feel would be great at a specific volunteer task. Please list the task as well.

We will follow-up with everyone: no response here obligates you to be involved.

If you have any questions or would like additional information about volunteering, please contact Parent Association President Bess Puvathingal at bess.puvathingal@gmail.com or Director of Development Will Layman at wlayman@w-e-s.org.

Thanks!
