The Ashbury Parents’ Guild

The Ashbury Parents’ Guild has been a cornerstone of community engagement at Ashbury College for over 70 years. Comprised entirely of dedicated volunteers the APG brings heart, innovation, and a spirit of service to every initiative they support.

Over the past decade, Ashbury College’s commitment to accessibility has grown significantly, with needs-based student financial assistance now supporting over 12% of the student body. This remarkable growth has been made possible in part by the enduring efforts of the Ashbury Parents’ Guild, whose volunteer-driven initiatives have formed a backbone of support. From establishing one of the school’s largest bursaries over 30 years ago, impacting countless student recipients, to creatively funding assistance through their used uniform and textbook sales, as well as many other formal and grassroots events, the APG has helped open doors for talented students who might not otherwise have access to an Ashbury education. Their work exemplifies the power of community-led philanthropy in driving meaningful change.
