Volunteering through Miraloma PTA Committees is a great way to get involved with our school community and positively impact our children’s future. Our volunteer opportunities range from specific task-related activities (low effort & time commitment) to longer-term committee leadership roles (high effort & time commitment), so you can choose what works best for you. 

We’re always looking for volunteers, so if you’re interested in getting involved, please reach out to volunteer@miralomasf.com. We would love to hear from you!

Arts
