LASA Project Graduation 2025 Needs Volunteers

It takes a village to raise our children. That village has taken many shapes and forms throughout their school years: devoted teachers, principals, librarians, staff, mentors, and other parents.

The LASA community is a community like no other. As we prepare to launch our LASA Class of 2025, we hope you will consider serving in their last LASA village by volunteering at the Project Graduation 2025 lock-in at the East Communities YMCA on June 3-4. We need adult volunteers across all grade levels to help by volunteering for a 4 hour shift during the event.

It is a fun event and the volunteers have a great time. This sign-up has details about the roles and shifts, but if you have any questions, feel free to drop us a note at projectgraduation@pflasa.org.
