Help us host Notre Dame's 23rd annual Crab Fest! There are a wide variety of volunteer opportunities, including some before the event takes place. The Crab Fest takes place on Saturday, January 31st on campus in Julie Billiart Hall from 6:00 to 9:30 p.m.

Events

Notre Dame High School

At Notre Dame, interdisciplinary field trips are offered at each grade level to extend academic curriculum into experiential learning and application. The sophomore field trip, Art Matters, takes students to the DeYoung Museum in San Francisco, CA. There, students will deepen their appreciation of art, identify connections and applications with their humanities courses, practice life skills and continue their ongoing exploration of careers and future pathways. These field trips will take place on Thursday, Jan. 22 and Friday, Jan. 23. We are looking for volunteers to help chaperone throughout the museum and during the commute. The number of volunteers needed may change depending on how many faculty and staff are available to chaperone. You will be contacted if there is a change.

Student Activities

Notre Dame High School

Notre Dame offers four retreats each year, one for each grade level. Freshman and sophomore classes participate in one-day "Breakaway days" and are attended by all students in the grade level. Junior and senior retreats are optional multi-day events. Each retreat has its own program content and supply needs. The volunteer works in partnership with Alicia Aguilar (Campus Minister for Spirituality and Justice) to gather materials specific to each retreat from on-campus storage areas and prepare materials (activity supplies, participant folders, information and materials for staff chaperones and retreat locations). Campus Ministry staff and the volunteer will review materials in storage and determine any items that need to be ordered. The volunteer will gather supplies, prepare storage boxes for transporting to retreat locations, unpack boxes when the retreats are over and return reusable items for retreats to storage for future use. Volunteer may be asked to keep track of quality and quantities of retreat materials. Schedule is flexible and based on retreat dates (i.e., needs significantly increase closer to retreat dates)

This is where parents sign up to help with our 2026 Spring Musical "The Prom" that runs April 10-13. Thank you in advance for your help! Four eccentric Broadway stars are in desperate need of a new stage. So when they hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town prom, they know that it’s time to put a spotlight on the issue… and themselves. The town’s parents want to keep the high school dance on the straight and narrow—but when one student just wants to bring her girlfriend to prom, the entire town has a date with destiny. On a mission to make a difference, the Broadway stars team up with the courageous student, leading to a transformation that brings everyone together in the name of love and acceptance.
