Head Start Volunteer
Volunteers at Adams County Head Start assist in the provision of a wide range of services and support to the enrolled children and families. Volunteers will be asked to assist with services to the program in the areas of Education, Health, Nutrition, and Family Community. Volunteers are widely used in the educational component of the program, such as expanding the amount of child/adult interaction, reading stories to the children, extending children's play, supporting children's involvement in various activity centers, assisting teachers in the development of classroom materials, and sharing special skills and talents by working with individual children.
Volunteer services have a long-range impact on the Head Start program, the children, and their families. The immediate impact is seen in increased services to children in many areas of the program. Volunteers often serve as positive role models and mentors for parents who wish to improve their parenting skills, obtain an educational diploma or degree, or develop career goals. Adams County Head Start has always relied on Head Start parents, citizens, and partnerships with other community agencies for a skilled and diverse volunteer pool.
