Better school events without burning out volunteers
Parent Teacher Organizations are the heartbeat of school communities. From family nights and fundraisers to teacher appreciation events and school carnivals, PTOs create the moments that bring families together and make schools feel vibrant and connected.
But behind every successful event is a group of parent volunteers juggling busy schedules, work commitments, and family life — often with limited time and energy. When planning falls on the same few parents again and again, burnout is almost inevitable. The good news? PTO volunteer burnout isn’t a motivation problem. It’s a planning problem — and it’s one that can be solved with the right systems in place.

When parents can see exactly what's needed - and how to help - participation increases naturally.
