How can I get involved in this good cause?

Here are some of the ways a parent volunteer can help:

• act as a classroom helper
• mentor or tutor students
• help children with special needs
• volunteer in a school computer lab
• help organize, cater, or work at fundraising activities such as bake sales or car washes
• act as a lunchroom or playground monitor
• help to plan and chaperone field trips, track meets, and other events that take place away from the school
• help to plan and chaperone in-school events (dances, proms, or graduation ceremonies)
• organize or assist with a specific club or interest group (if you have an interest in an activity that isn't currently available to students, offer to help get a group started — for example, a chess club or cycling team)
• assist coaches and gym teachers with sports and fitness programs or work in the school concession stand at sporting events
• help the school administrators prepare grant proposals, letter-writing campaigns, or press releases, or help with other administrative needs
• attend school board meetings
• work as a library assistant or offer to help with story time or reading assistance in the school library
• sew costumes or build sets for theatrical and musical productions
• work with the school band or orchestra or coach music students one-on-one
• help out with visual arts, crafts, and design courses and projects
• hold a workshop for students in trade or technical programs
• spend some time with a specific club or interest group (ask the teacher who sponsors the group)
• volunteer to speak in the classroom or at a career day, if you have a field of expertise that you'd like to share
• supervise or judge experiments at a science fair

Remember that not everyone is suited for the same type of involvement. You may have to "try on" a few activities before you find something that feels right. If you need ideas, ask your child's teacher, who will likely be glad to help you think of something!
