Amador County Sober Grad
There are Many Ways You Can Help
Volunteer by Planning
Amador County Sober Grad is gearing up for another unforgettable celebration—and we need your help to make it happen! We're inviting passionate, energetic, and loving people to join us in planning this year’s Sober Graduation event, designed to be a safe, fun, and substance-free night for all Amador County high school students, grades 9–12.
Planning will kick off in November, and there are many volunteer opportunities available. No special skills or background checks are required—just a desire to help and a heart for our youth. Whether you're great at organizing, decorating, coordinating, or simply showing up with a smile, there's a place for you. Much of the pre-work can be done on the phone on your own schedule, with monthly meetings to stay in sync and celebrate our progress.
Your involvement will not only impact upcoming 2026 graduates—it’ll help ensure this meaningful tradition thrives for years to come.
If you're ready to make a difference and bring some joy to our youth, we’d love to have you on board. Let’s make this night one they’ll never forget—for all the right reasons.
We are in need of:
A Food Committee of 2 to 3 people
A Donations Committee of 2 to 3 people
A Volunteer Coordinator (this is for securing volunteers the night of the event, not planning)
A Decorations Committee of 6 to 8 people
