DOLLARS FOR DOERS -

Some employers will donate to us when you volunteer & report your hours!

Sometimes called "dollars for doers" programs - some employers donate money for the hours their employees volunteer. If you help in the classroom, garden, at PTA events, or serve on the PTA Board or a committee, your volunteer time may earn additional money for Pioneer.

Fundraise. Participate. Have Fun.
