What does our board do?
Garrison Mill parents, school administrators and teachers volunteer their time to fundraise, allocate resources and determine future projects. The parent-led Foundation is always looking for wonderful volunteers to help with our programs, events, fundraisers and more with a focus on science, technology, engineering, arts and math - STEAM!
We are always interested in having coordinator assistants, and other volunteers to shadow our board. If you are interested in learning more about the GMEF Board and volunteer opportunities please email info@gmefoundation.org.
