The start of a new school year is always a time for fresh beginnings, and our volunteer mixers welcome parents into the heart of Chaminade’s mission to serve and support our students. While the first week of school is especially exciting for students, as they come together to form new bonds and reunite with familiar faces, parents are also invited to partake in that same community spirit. Gatherings like these are often the birthplace of lifelong friendships and offer a new meaning for what it means to be a Chaminade parent.

Our parent volunteers don’t have more time than anyone else. They simply have bigger hearts, and their enthusiasm shows how dedicated they are to contributing to their child’s experience. When we ask parents to find ways they might like to get involved within their already busy schedules, they often discover opportunities that reflect their own interests and passions. Volunteering comes in many forms, whether it’s lending a hand at sporting events, supporting student programs, or sharing professional skills behind the scenes.

As parents explored the wide variety of volunteer positions, they also had the chance to meet our remarkable Les Dames. Pam Hoyt P ’15, ‘20, Debra Bergman P’20, and Juliane Chilopoulos P’15, ’19, ‘21 are shining examples of parent volunteers whose impact continues even beyond their own children’s time at Chaminade. We are incredibly grateful for not only their ongoing commitment but also the legacy of service they continue to model for new parents.  

Chaminade’s success is built on the energy of our students, the guidance of our faculty, and the generosity of our volunteers. President Robert Webb underscored that service isn’t just a checkbox for students, but an opportunity to practice giving back in ways that will shape how they continue to serve their communities beyond graduation. Through volunteering, parents are invited to take on that example as well, showing their unwavering support for the success of our programs and students.
