Volunteer and Get Rewarded
The Parents Association provides a multitude of opportunities to volunteer. In recognition of your service, you will be rewarded points towards “reserved seating” at your UCR student’s commencement ceremony.
Earn Parent Points
Each volunteer activity is worth one point. You can also earn half a point by attending a parent meeting! Six points are currently required to qualify for reserved seating.
Volunteer Opportunities
You can express your interest in volunteering for a specific activity by contacting ucrparents@ucr.edu.

Assist with check-in at one or all of our parent meetings hosted in the fall, winter, and spring.
