Engage with our community
There are several ways you can contribute to our scholars’ success. Our goal is to provide meaningful opportunities for individuals and groups who generously contribute their time, talent, and expertise to strengthen our community.
Knowing more about a prospective volunteer’s background and expertise is helpful to us. By being thoughtful and intentional, we create positive experiences for scholars and families: Partner-Scholar Engagement Expectations.
