Parent volunteers represent Kent Place at a consortium of Parents’ Associations within the independent school community.

The goal of the Diversity and Equity Parent Group is to provide a space for our families to dialogue, learn about, and explore issues of identity, diversity, and equity. Our subcommittees include affinity groups, LatinX Night, Lunar New Year, MLK Day of Service planning, and more. The group, which is open to all parents and caregivers, supports families and students in developing respect, deepening understanding of identity, and co-constructing an increasingly inclusive and equitable School community.

The Division and Class Representatives support the classroom teachers and/or the class advisor in organizing activities and grade-specific events. Class representatives meet with the Division Representatives and Division Directors throughout the school year in order to provide parent support where needed for classroom-based activity.

The Dragon Athletic Club (DAC) supports and promotes athletic teams at KPS. The DAC hosts a number of programs and events each year, such as Team Dinners, seasonal athletic banquets and more.

The Ethics Institute Parent Group supports the mission of the Ethics Institute by assisting with events, parent programs, and promotion to the broader community.

Below is an overview of volunteer opportunities at KPS. For more information about volunteering in general, please contact Danielle Robinson P ’28, Parents’ Association President.

A favorite fall tradition, Family Fun Day is a Kent Place community-wide celebration with food, games, rides, music, and so much more! This event is a great way to get involved and meet other Kent Place families while volunteering.

Grandparents and Special Friends is a favorite holiday tradition on campus for students, families, and faculty. Parent volunteers are needed to make this event a success.
