Services That School Volunteers

drill and practice on a specific skill, prepare displays and
bulletin boards, work with students on individualized
programs, organize shelves, files, or work area, help set up
for activity, collect resource materials for various units
for students, help with one-day testing, and do other tasks

topic or your career field, grocery shop, set up for room
parties, run an errand, or seek donations from local
business. Assist nurse with health screenings, assist
photographers on picture days.
Volunteer Tutors: Volunteers
in this area work on a one-to-one basis with students. Their
efforts provide essential services to students who need
additional attention for a variety of reasons. Students who
need extra practice, drill, and reinforcement may be
assigned to a volunteer tutor. Some students who are working
at advanced levels may also work with volunteer tutors using
challenging and enriching materials. Students who could
benefit from additional personal attention and socialization
are appropriate students with whom a volunteer tutor might
work.
Work Room Assistants:
Volunteers can copy materials for teachers, bind materials
with binding machine, laminate items, use die-cut machine,
or collate books and packets. This is an extremely important
job as this will give teachers more time to plan and
teach.
