Volunteers

GGG is an All-Volunteer organization. All of the Directors on the Board, Class Representatives, and Committee Chairs, and Members who work so hard on GGG luncheons, publications, meetings, reunions, social activities and website are Volunteers. Volunteers put in hours, days and often years of effort to fulfill the mission of Garfield Golden Grads, keeping the memories and traditions of Garfield High School alive.

NEW VOLUNTEERS ARE ALWAYS NEEDED AND ALWAYS WELCOME! If you are interested in becoming a GGG Volunteer, contact a Board Member or your Class Representative.

Class Representatives

Every golden graduating class (at least 50 years ago) has a Class Representative who volunteers to act as a liaison between the GGG Board and the members of their respective graduating class. Their duties and responsibilities are wide and varied and include such things as collecting classmate contact information, disseminating information about upcoming reunions and class events, sharing information about GGG events and activities, and more. Whether you are a class rep or not, every alum can use the alumni news report form under Garfield Golden Grads News on the Bulldog News page.
