Interested volunteers should next consider the type of volunteer experience you are interested in, considering number of hours per month you are available to volunteer. There are varying opportunities, some of which require a consistent commitment, others requiring less consistency and more of an “as needed” basis.

Here are the position descriptions:

Lunch Buddy: Requires a commitment to visit one particular student during lunch, every week or every other week, for approximately 45 minutes to an hour. You can choose a day of the week that works best for you. Initial visit will be a required shadowing of a current Lunch Buddy and introduction to Gary Sigler, the school's guidance counselor, who oversees the Lunch Buddy program.

Classroom Helper/Assistant: Requires a level of commitment to either a particular teacher or a particular student, visiting on a regular basis, based on the teacher or student need.

Stand-alone volunteer Opportunities: One-time projects or events in which one or several volunteers might be needed. Examples include: reading to a group of children, helping with Math & Reading Family Night, delivering snacks or coffee/breakfast items for staff and faculty, assembling bulletin boards, helping with Field Day, assisting on a field trip, judging the school Science Fair.
