The rocking reader reads to children and encourages conversation, self-expression, vocabulary expansion and reading skills. There are also positions available that do not require direct contact with children. Bulletin board helpers assist staff with creating and designing bulletin boards for classrooms. A newsletter assistant helps staff assemble and distribute newsletters. Grocery shoppers are also needed.
Volunteers help purchase groceries for breakfast and snack menus.
Groceries are charged and shopping requires only 30 minutes to an hour each week. Besides volunteering directly at Head Start, students can help in fund raising. In the past, sororities and fraternities have held fund-raisers such as canned food drives to help raise money for the program. Whatever ways volunteers choose to help Head Start, the staff said it is more than willing to work with them. We understand that school is your first commitment.
