We couldn't Do it Without You!

Meet new people & make new friends

Volunteering your time, energy and expertise helps support the essential arts, enrichment and support programs we value at Westlake.  

There are tasks both very small and large that need volunteers.  

​Our school events only happen if we have parents/caregivers to make them happen!
