Head Start is looking for volunteers to work in the classrooms as positive role models for preschool aged children. As a Head Start volunteer you may read books with children, play games, build block structures or play outside on the playground. Head Start relies on the support of the community to provide rich experiences to our children in need. Many children in the program don't have a positive role model at home to shape and mold them. We need you!
