Each school tailors the volunteer program to its specific needs. Some of the areas for volunteer work include the classroom, the nurse's office, the school office, the playground or P.E., the library or the workroom. The volunteer application lists the areas in which volunteers are needed for each school. The purpose of Volunteers in Public Schools shall be to support and enrich the lives of school children and to stimulate an interested community to a more active support of public education. Many volunteers derive personal satisfaction in knowing that the hours they put in, no matter how great or small, are enabling the schools to do a better job.
Volunteers strengthen our schools and our community.
Student achievement is greater. Individualized instruction is increased. The curriculum is enriched. A partnership is established between the school and home. Tax dollars are extended.
