Volunteering
SBDS is a member-run school. As such, we rely on the active participation of all our members to keep costs and tuition fees as low as possible. There are many ways to volunteer at the school, for example by donating food or your time at the “cake table” on Saturdays, as Yard Duty on the playground, in the classroom as a volunteer assistant or at one of our events.
Each member family is required to volunteer 3 hours per semester or pay a volunteer waiver. Volunteering is a fun way to get to know people in the German-speaking community in the South Bay. We would love to see you on a Saturday volunteering your time and energy!
