PTO Event Volunteers
At Patriot Oaks, we love volunteers! You can find our event descriptions listed at the bottom of this page. We hope you'll take the time to complete the volunteer interest section of our membership form when joining the PTO and let us know which event(s) you'd like to assist with. Our events can only be successful with your help!
In order to be an approved volunteer at Patriot Oaks Academy, you must fill out the St. Johns County Volunteer Application. You can find more information about that application on our Volunteer Requirements page on the website.
