Committee and Program Chair Volunteer Page

Volunteers are the heart of the PTSA!

Please volunteer to chair one of the committees or programs below.

​The 2-year time commitment will fly by, and the PTSA, and kids and parents in our schools will be very grateful to you for giving your time.

Please note that during this time, we are uncertain exactly which PTSA programs and events will be able to proceed next school year. However, we'd love to get volunteers set up now so we're ready to go!

Please write with any questions or if you’d like more information: irvingtonnyptsa@gmail.com
