Family Nights We need volunteers to help set up, serve food, staff craft tables, and take down at the end of the event. Help watch students "younger siblings" so parents and guardians can participate in the family fun alsoCommitment: Once a month/ day of the event.
Restock the snack pantry: Once a month M-W receives a food delivery from 2nd Harvest and it would be great to have a willing volunteer help to restock and organize the pantry. This happens one time a month on Fridays!
School Beautification and Park clean-up: The kids love to play at the beautiful park next to their school, however since it is a public park we need to make sure the park is clean and safe for the kids to explore. There is so much wonderful potential for nature walks in the woods and learning in nature. Come help us keep the park clean and ready for FUN! Commitment: 2x a month from summer into fall!

Teacher Support: Help us make teacher’s jobs a bit easier and let’s show them that we care by making copies, laminating and taking on some general office duties that can lighten their load. Commitment: Be available for teacher needs during the school year. You will get several days notice when a teacher request comes in.
Teacher Appreciation: Write letters, cards or notes to teachers letting them know you appreciate them and all the wonderful work they are doing to support our students!
Teacher Lounge Fairy: Let’s spruce up the teacher Lounge and let’s give the teachers a beautiful space to connect and recharge. Commitment: Once a month to clean, organize and beautify this space.

Our mission is to foster community partnerships promoting wellness and school success for youth and families, creating a community of life-long learners that embraces diversity.
The Duluth Community School Collaborative is a nonprofit that provides services in several Duluth Public Schools, including Myers-Wilkins Elementary School, Lincoln Park Middle, and Denfeld High. These schools serve families with higher rates of poverty than many others in the District. Poverty often leads to academic under-performance, and limited access to the educational, social, and cultural enrichment opportunities.
The Duluth Community School Collaborative works with community organizations and individuals to support academic success and well-being of the whole child. We provide academic support, enrichment, arts and cultural activities, employment readiness, health-related services, and various other programming to holistically meet students' needs at our three sites.
The impact of these services extends far beyond the walls of the school, benefiting neighborhoods, partner organizations, businesses, and the city of Duluth.
