Chair/Co-Chair Requirements
Each parent is required to chair an event/committee ONE TIME IN 4 YEARS. If you have sons graduating in different years you must chair for each son. The event you chair also satisfies one event from above (i.e. if you chair the Communion Breakfast you get credit for the Communion Breakfast as an event).
Volunteering
The FFA keeps track of volunteer information such as sign-ups, events worked and attendance at meetings electronically. We have created the following form to help you in keep track of your time Farrell Family Accountability Log 2024 - 2025
We will not be updating you on what you have worked and what you need to work to meet your requirements. You are responsible for logging your time.
Volunteering can be done as much or as little as any one individual wants. Any time served for a club or sport is independent of time volunteered for FFA.
We recognize that there are extenuating circumstances in life. We are here to work with you and help if you are willing to commit. We will take these circumstances into consideration and help in whatever way we can. Please note: the requirements are to be completed for your 1st son. For 2nd, 3rd...sons, you do not have to double the work but must serve an additional chair position if the boys are in the school together at any given time. If one son leaves and the second son comes in, you are required to fulfill the outline above.
Volunteer slots will be filled based on the timestamp. You may not be selected for every event you sign up for because some events we need a few volunteers, while others will need an army.
Please select multiple events to guarantee that you will work something. We will do our best to ensure that every parent has an opportunity to fulfill their volunteer requirements. If you cannot make your event please try to find another parent to cover your time and let your chairperson know. If you cannot find coverage, please give your chairperson ample time to find coverage for you.
Thank you!
