The first step will be to contact the principal of a local school and schedule an interview. Share with the principal your desire to become a partner with the school.
Here are a few tips on suggested involvement opportunities:
1. Maybe you have a hobby or career that you can share at a school program for kids or parents.
2. Maybe you can volunteer for a school committee, parent form, or be a program speaker.
3. Have you had experience at world travel? Sharing your story with students can open their minds to cultures around the world.
4. Do you have political connections with the community? Invite an elected official to have lunch at school with a small group of students and teachers to discuss an innovative program, student achievement, or student aspirations.
5. Schools are always seeking volunteers for tutors and student buddies. Maybe this is an area of interest for you.
School and community partnerships create opportunities for students to explore and engage in new authentic learning. Schools need community involvement. Think about ways you can become a valuable partner with your local school district.
