Communities In Schools of Mid-America offers a variety of volunteer opportunities that vary in levels of commitment and access to students. You can be as involved with our organization and our schools as your schedule allows.
- One-time Involvement: One-time volunteers participate in events that only occur during one day. Volunteer work could be just a couple of hours to the full day depending on the event. Examples include resource fairs, career fairs, college exploration days, school carnivals/events, parent-teacher conferences, cultural fairs, community service days, public speaking and so much more.
- Episodic Involvement: Episodic volunteers give their time when they can throughout the school year by volunteering at various one-day events.
- Ongoing Involvement: Ongoing volunteers commit to a term of service with the organization. Service terms also vary in length of commitment based on the volunteer role. Examples include tutoring, mentoring, facilitator of groups, presenters, and more.
