Supporting our School
1. Volunteer at Chinook
Chinook thrives because of the incredible support of our parent and caregiver community. Whether you can give a few hours or a few minutes, your time and talents make a real difference for our students, staff, and school culture. Sign up to volunteer here: Volunteer Opportunities

Would you be willing to share your story with our students? We are looking for volunteers to speak to our AVID classes for just 50 minutes.

It is a powerful way to inspire and expand their understanding of what is possible.
If you are interested in being a speaker, please contact Rhea Weiss at [email protected].
3. Donate Board Games for Student Support Services
