Volunteer Sign Up
Volunteering Is Easy! The Millennium PTO has put all of the volunteer opportunities online. We are hoping to simplify things for both the volunteers and for the PTO. You can easily sign-up with friends this way, leave comments like “I can help, but need to leave early”, and better plan your future schedules.
At Open House you may have provided your email address for various upcoming events. If so, you will be receiving an email invitation to volunteer for those events online. You can also just check out this website now and follow the simple steps:
- Go to our invitation page on SignUp.com: http://signup.com/go/RnExMn
- Enter your email address: You will NOT need to register an account on SignUp.com
- Sign Up! Choose your spots - SignUp.com will send you an automated confirmation and reminders. You can also download your sign-ups to several different calendars like Outlook and Google!
Note: SignUp.com does not share your email address with anyone. If you prefer not to use your email address, or have any other questions, please contact Gina Minetti.
