Volunteers are welcome at both the elementary and secondary school levels. They serve as:

• Tutors and mentors

• Classroom assistants

• Library aides

• Storytellers

• Clerical assistants

• Buddy to a student

• Speakers for career awareness events

• Members of School Improvement Teams

• Chaperones for special activities

• Teacher’s helpers at home – creating bulletin board materials, art projects, etc.

Volunteers can set their own schedule. They can volunteer for as little as a couple of hours a month or as often as every day.

To get started as a school volunteer, you can:

• Contact the school nearest to you that works with the age of students you prefer to be around.

• Attend a Parent Teacher Organization or other parent-school organization meeting and asking how you can become involved.
