Volunteer Information

We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without the help of our volunteers! You can help make a difference in the life of a child.

Family and community volunteers help us reach our classroom goals and help children become independent, confident, and enthusiastic learners.

We are seeking volunteers to help in every area of our Head Start programs, including arts, math, literacy, physical health, language development, social-emotional health and more.
