Volunteer
Every year we engage new committee members and co-officers to ensure shared knowledge and seamless transitions.
Ideally, officers volunteer for at least 2 years, or until their child graduates 5th grade. But any and all support is very much appreciated.
Year 1: Bring fresh ideas and learn the role from out-going volunteers
Year 2: Bring your expertise, and fresh ideas, and train new volunteers

Join the event committee and help us organize the fundraisers and community events that help make Hoover the amazing community it is. Events include the Fun Run, Book Fair, Harvest Dance, Holiday Market, Spirit Day and more.
Garden Committee
Combine our beautiful outdoor space with Hoover’s educational curriculum. This committee is in charge of working with teachers to see how we can use our outdoor garden space in their curriculum. This is a new committee, and we’re excited to see how it grows.
