About the ECE Volunteer Team
Our Early Care and Education (ECE) staff and children greatly appreciate community participation and educational opportunities. Do you have a skill, hobby or activity you would like to share with one of our ECE centers? Are you passionate about something that the next generation of learners can benefit from?
We are actively seeking community members (parents, teachers, high school students, college students, etc.) to come into our centers and teach our kids something new!
Our Volunteer Team is happy to work with you through the entire process. We welcome volunteers in all our centers.
Activity Examples:
- Read a book to a class once a week
- Garden
- Play outdoors
- Help organize/coordinate materials for the center
- Play your instrument
- Work 1 on 1 with a student or small group
- Assist where help is needed
Share a craft or activity in your area of expertise:

- Tech
