Giving

Volunteer

Parents and guardians have been a vital part of the Greenwood community since the school’s founding.
We offer many meaningful opportunities for parents and guardians to volunteer at the school. In giving of your time and talent, you will provide an excellent example of the importance of giving back, and have the opportunity to work alongside fellow parents and guardians and Greenwood staff.

We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
