Why Volunteer With Us?

Volunteers at District 6 work together with parents, teachers and staff members to help students realize their full potential. District 6 knows it takes a village to raise a child, and is committed to engaging family and community members in the essential work of supporting our kids' academic, social and emotional development from early childhood to early adulthood. Each District 6 school collaborates with volunteers differently to address their unique needs, and everyone benefits from this partnership.
