How To
Become A Volunteer
Volunteers are critical to the success of Head Start. The participation of volunteers has been an effective way
to mobilizing community resources to strengthen Head Start
Services.
Volunteers can be professionals and
non-professionals,
parents, local residents, and members of the larger community.
Volunteers may serve on policy and advisory groups, work in classrooms, offices, or kitchens, and provide
health education, medical and dental examinations, and other
health services.
Many organizations and individuals have worked with Head
Start, such as Kiwanis Clubs, local health professionals, corporations,
senior citizens, and students. Community organizations also assist
Head Start by donating goods and services to help local programs.
Local Head Start programs have coordinators of volunteer
services to recruit and train volunteers to fill their
responsibilities. One goal of volunteer training and experience is
to enable parents and other low-income community volunteers to gain the
skills and experience needed to qualify for employment.
