Resource and Quickstart Guides

In the past, both Texas PTA and National PTA created and maintained officer resource guides, including for the Volunteers position. Updating and maintenance of these officer resource guides is sometimes sporadic, and the PISD Council of PTAs has chosen to provide previous versions of this guides and related documents below.

If you are in search of newer guides, we recommend starting with the Texas PTA or the National PTA websites.
The following documents are provided as is.

We have been unable to determine if these are being updated and maintained on the Texas PTA website as of Spring 2019

There are other non-school/non-student organizations (ex. corporate volunteer programs, community college volunteer organizations, etc.) that can provide volunteers in return for service hours, but the use of these groups should be part of a discussion/decision by your PTA Board and General Membership.
