Academy
Prep prides itself on the volunteer efforts of the community.
We could not sustain our programs without volunteers. Annually,
we average 8,000 hours from parents, corporations, non-profits,
our trustees, community members, high school students, and
graduates. If you would like to make a difference, here are
some opportunities to explore.
Study
Hall: Do you have experience tutoring or special
patience to work with students on homework needs? The perfect
fit for you may be in study hall. Monday through Thursday;
5:00-6:05 pm is dedicated to students who need extra help
in Mathematics, English, History, and Science.
Qualifications: Can commit one hour a week,
must be 16 years of age or accompanied by an adult.
Extracurricular
Activities: Share your talent with students in
karate, chess, dance, music, art, golf, or intramurals. We
work with many community partnerships that teach life skills
such as Boy Scouts, Fit Families for Life, The Lightning Foundation,
First Tee, Enterprise Village, Girl Scouts, Ogden and Sullivan
Law Firm, St. Joe's Children's Hospital, Junior League of
Tampa, and Prodigy Arts. Or perhaps you can work with us to
design an extracurricular activity!
Qualifications: Once a week; experience in
instruction, business or classroom management.
Field
Trips: Our students attend field trips once a
month by grade. This is a great opportunity to be a chaperone;
not only with our students and families but also our community
partners. On occasion we have weekly field trips to community
programs like The Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center and The
Florida Holocaust Museum.
Qualifications: One Saturday a month (for
regularly - scheduled trips); must be 16 years of age or accompanied
by an adult.
Special
Events: If you have special skills or like to
coordinate, one of our many events throughout the year may
be the opportunity for you. We have school picnics, plays,
and celebrations. Our development team also manages fundraising
activities like golf tournaments and seeks administrative
support.
Qualifications: Specific positions may require
experience.
Other
Volunteer Opportunities: library support, classroom
tutor, and lunch supervision.
