Benefits of Volunteering


Volunteers play an important and valuable role in education.  The volunteer program within SCUSD provides parents and community members with the opportunity to increase their knowledge of how the district and its schools function.    Regardless of the type of volunteer work done, volunteers play a key role in helping our students.  The volunteer receives satisfaction for doing an important job and has an opportunity to meet other members of the community.  A volunteer can share special expertise, and at the same time, acquire new skills and work experience for future jobs.  Volunteers enable teachers to maximize their time.  Our children benefit from more individualized attention and an enriched curriculum.  Teachers, students, administrators, parents, and the community benefit from the work of people like volunteers, who freely share their time and resources.  There is a place for every kind of volunteer talent!

Reasons Why Volunteers Have a Positive Effect on Our Schools:

  • Children receive more individualized attention
  • The curriculum is enriched
  • Community appreciation of school and the educational process is increased
  • Instructors have more time to teach and plan
  • Discipline problems are reduced
  • Children can relate to more adults
  • Motivation of children is increased
  • Children’s respect for adults is increased
