Committees and Volunteers

Our Volunteers are an essential element of our group.  Without you, activities such as field day, parties, field trips, P.E., and play dates would not exist. 

 

Committees consist of a group of people within CHEA that will plan specific types of activities throughout the year.  Please take a moment to read about the committees and incentives that can be earned when you volunteer to be part of a committee.   

 

We thank you in advance for your generosity and willingness to volunteer.
