Join the OCC for the 2025-2026 School Year!

Seeking volunteers! LOVE Oyster-Adams and want to work with staff and families make it even better? We do too!! Maybe you’re bored and have plenty of extra time on your hands? That’s not us either!! But we still need your help!

Who are we? The Oyster-Adams Community Council (OCC) is a group of elected volunteer parents partnered with school staff and teachers working together on behalf of the school community. The OCC supports Oyster-Adams by hosting events that foster community and build school spirit; keeping you up to date on school news and events; and raising funds for critical resources that help make our unique bilingual model successful. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit group and donations are tax-deductible. Learn more about us.

You have a chance to join us in a more formal way. We have the following positions WIDE OPEN for you to jump in and help us for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year:

  • Member at Large (Joy): Help create joyful moments for our students, faculty, and staff.

  • Member at Large (Communications): Develop and approve content/graphics and get news distributed to the community.

  • Member at Large (Volunteers): Rally the community to volunteer for events!

  • Member at Large (Budget): Assist with creating a budget, monitoring spending, and keeping us compliant with required paperwork.

  • Member at Large (Fundraising): Assist with developing a fundraising strategy and executing related events.

If you’re interested in one of the other positions, let us know!

We also continue to need assistance with translation–either as a regular rotating volunteer for meetings or possibly as a Member at Large for the year.

Where do you sign up? Glad you asked! Please send us an email and someone will be in touch and answer your questions. Thanks for considering joining us!
