Passport Check Days are fast-paced and fun-filled and a great way to volunteer at school. As a checker you'll have the opportunity to work with students from first to fifth grade quizzing them on their geography knowledge.


Our volunteers take turns bringing snacks for the teachers and volunteers.


Sign up here. Please indicate in the comments section if you need to come late or leave early or are a first time checker. If you sign-up for a slot and can't come to check, please take yourself off the sign-up or let us know at passport@puestadelsolpta.org. Thanks!
