    Parent Volunteer Opportunities

    The Depot puts on several events during the academic year that require extra adult hands and we could use your help! Some events include helping with the 5th-grade parties and the 6th grade Ice Cream Social – this is a great way for you and your child to learn all about The Depot as they enter the middle school years. We also need help putting on our fundraising events, Annual Appeal and Senior Graduation Balloon Day. If you are interested in receiving a notification when adult volunteers are needed, please email admin@dariendepot.com.
