40+ Hilarious Memes About Volunteering at School
Get our free mega bundle of memes about volunteering (and joining the PTO, of course), in one handy download.
Chances are, your PTO has a Facebook or an Instagram...maybe even a TikTok (go you!). If your PTO struggles with parent engagement on social media, try adding a few memes and reels to the mix!
Everyone loves memes because they link instantly recognizable pop culture images with witty (and often relatable) captions. Using memes to promote upcoming PTO meetings, volunteer opportunities, and school events is a great way to boost engagement on your group's socials. Check out one PTO's Taylor Swift inspired reel that answers a question as old as time, "So...what exactly does the PTO do?"
Also, stay on top of what's trending on social media - what are you seeing a lot of in your own feeds? - and think about how you can give them a PTO spin to engage parents. For example, Don Carter PTO took the trend "In my (blank) era" and created an "In my PTO era" reel:
Using slang that's popular with teens and tweens can also help you master the Facebook and Instagram algorithm because it often gets a lot of reactions (which equals post engagement) from parents. For example, tie your school spirit wear sale to "rizz" points and mewing, like the Spring-Ford Area School District HSA did. Just make sure you're using it right...maybe do a quick Google search or run it by your own kids, first! 😂
Once parents come to the realization that being part of the PTO might actually be...dare we say...fun?! they just might join the PTO or at least come to a meeting. Below, we round up some of the best memes about volunteering at school. You can download them all (40+) in one handy file below.
