Volunteers in Education
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of qualification do I need to become a school
volunteer?
A love for children! All volunteers are matched with a program or
an activity based on their skills and interests. Training and supervision
are provided by the appropriate staff at the school level.
How much time do I need to give to be a school volunteer?
Although most volunteers assist on a regular basis for one or more
half days a week for the school year, some schools or a specific
program may have needs which require shorter or longer time commitments.
Do I have a choice as to which school I am assigned?
We encourage volunteers to be involved in the school(s) within their
local community or close to their place of employment/study. Your
comfort level and preference as to age group, language, activity,
and specific school will determine where you are placed. |
