Help kids realize their potential.

Description of volunteer opportunities and volunteer sign-up form.

There are as many ways to volunteer with Communities In Schools as there are volunteers. Help out with a school supplies drive or winter coat distribution. Present your industry at a career fair or serve on a board of directors. Mentor or tutor a young person who needs your help and guidance. Join thousands of others as we improve the odds for Washington youth in need and at risk.

We're experts in organizing volunteers. Give us a call; it might just be the best call you've ever made.

One Child at a Time
When Marlene, a Communities In Schools volunteer, first met Gayle, she had one goal: help Gayle pass middle school. Gayle had failing grades, low self-esteem, and was challenged by physical handicaps and significant learning disabilities. Each week Marlene would meet Gayle at school for lunch. They went on nature walks, worked on sewing projects, and visited art museums. Soon Gayle’s grades began to climb. After four years together, Gayle has worked to overcome her challenges and is making A's and B's. She has gained self-confidence and public speaking skills and is preparing for college. "Marlene keeps telling other people how much I have achieved," says Gayle. "I’m not sure if she realizes that a lot of it is because of her."
