Volunteers
Volunteers are the heart of SCEF
SCEF is governed by a working board of volunteers who provide their professional expertise to the organization. In addition, members of the community serve on committees, helping with marketing and messaging, planning auctions and events, seeking sponsorships and more.
We are seeking committee members with experience in marketing, finance, or event planning. There are many on-going and shorter-term opportunities to apply your professional experience to make a difference for San Carlos public schools.

Please contact Kathy Parmer-Lohan at ed@scefkids.org to learn more.
