Volunteer


Picture
Volunteers are an essential component of Head Start, and by donating time and energy, they make a huge contribution to the success of our program. Parents and guardians are very important volunteers, and our Head Start believes that utilizing parents/guardians as volunteers enriches the Head Start experience for all participants. We provide structured opportunities and appropriate support for all interested parents/guardians to participate in the classroom.

​We highly encourage parent volunteering and strive to put parents in volunteer positions that match their interests, abilities, and time availability, as well as provide opportunities that add to their job skills and experience. Parents and guardians can volunteer in a variety of ways, including the following: 
 

In the Classroom

  • Field trips
  • Read to the class
  • Playground supervision
  • Organizing classroom materials
  • And more
 

At the Head Start Site

  • Help in the office
  • Plant and maintain outside gardens
  • Clean storage areas
  • Help set up/clean up during events
  • And more
If you are interested in volunteering yourself or an organization you are affiliated with contact the office at the Niemann Elementary facility at (219) 873-2146 or your family advocate to schedule a meeting or event.
