Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteering
Volunteering is a great way to stay connected to your student’s school and help make Sonora an even better place for our kids. The Sonora PTA offers lots of ways to get involved, whether you want to serve on the PTA board, help at a one-time event, or donate items like gift cards, food, or decorations for school activities.
We also have a WhatsApp volunteer group where we share updates and post quick requests for extra help when events or projects come up. It’s an easy way to stay in the loop and jump in when you’re able. Every little bit helps, and we truly appreciate our amazing Sonora families!
Become an Approved Volunteer (RAPTOR)
If you would like to volunteer on campus, NMUSD requires all volunteers to complete a screening through the RAPTOR Volunteer System. This helps the district ensure the safety of all students and staff.
Once approved, you will be able to volunteer at school during the day. This includes helping in your child’s classroom, chaperoning field trips, and assisting with school activities or events.
To get started, complete the online volunteer application using the link below. Once your application is reviewed, you will receive an email letting you know if you have been cleared to volunteer.
Before applying, please make sure you have any required documents ready to upload. It is also recommended that you complete the application on a computer, as mobile devices can sometimes cause formatting issues.

Volunteer Interest Form
If you're interested in getting involved but not sure where to start, you can fill out this short form, and we’ll help connect you with opportunities at Sonora.
The truth is, the best way to get involved is simply to talk to a PTA member, join our volunteer chat, and start showing up when you can. Every event at school takes a lot of behind-the-scenes work, and even small things help. Whether it’s helping organize spirit wear on the flag deck on Friday mornings or lending a hand at an event, every bit of support makes a difference.
