La Habra High School
Highlander Grad Nite

Volunteer Opportunities
You are invited to join with our efforts to plan and create the 2011 graduating class Grad Nite. It takes many creative minds to plan the event logistics, decorations, activities and fun.

The following volunteer FAQ information may help you determine if you would like to volunteer. If you do not see a fit, please tell us what you would like to help with.

Who can volunteer?
Everyone in the community is welcome to help in any capacity that they are able. The only exception is an individual must be 23 years of age in order to volunteer during the actual event. Ideally, families of current freshmen, sophomores and juniors are encouraged to help out. Getting involved will ensure that your senior’s grad nite will be a success. This event can only be as successful as the year before with the dedicated volunteers who have a passion to continue the tradition.

What type of help can I offer?
#1 Time- Planning. Molding the theme into action.
#2 Talent- creating the WOW! using materials at hand to form or paint props. 23 years of props and building materials are for available to let your creativity go wild.
#3 Helping Hands- if you would like to help and not take charge, we have plenty of tasks that need attention.
#4 Logistic Planning- the nuts and bolts of safety and function; if you are handy with electricity, construction, etc, etc.; this may be the kind of fun you enjoy. All of the behind the scene logistics are vital to accomplish this event.
#5 Event Supervision- During Grad Nite there are many tasks that need volunteer attention such as serving food, supervising the graduates, sparkle helpers and much more. As we begin planning; more details will be posted.
 
As soon as our initial meetings commence, more details on volunteer needs will be posted. Please visit back soon and often. Thank you for your consideration on helping out.
