Volunteers are the only human beings on the face of the earth who reflect this nation’s compassion, unselfish caring, patience, and just plain loving one another.

Tri-County Head Start welcomes families, friends, and community members to volunteer in our classrooms. Volunteers are critical to the success of Head Start and Early Head Start. The participation of volunteers has been an effective way of mobilizing community resources to strengthen services. Parents can volunteer, explore the exciting field of early childhood education, learn more about child development, and potential employment opportunities. Volunteers can assist with classroom activities, upkeep and renovation of centers, playground and other similar tasks. Volunteers may choose to give 15 minutes of their time while dropping their own child at school, a few hours of time during an afternoon session, or spend full days at school as part of the classroom team.
Before volunteering, you will be required to read, sign and adhere to the Tri-County Head Start “Code of Conduct”. You will receive training from the Classroom Staff so that you are comfortable with the responsibilities of being a Head Start volunteer. All volunteers are supervised at all times. No volunteer is ever left alone with children.
