parent volunteer

Unpaid school helper

A parent volunteer is someone who donates time to help with their child's school, sports team, or other youth activities.

Parent volunteers chaperone field trips, assist in classrooms, organize fundraisers, and staff concession stands.

The term implies unpaid labor motivated by involvement in a child's life: We need more parent volunteers for the science fair.
