Who Are Volunteers?
Volunteers are people who are willing to donate their time and energies to assist principals, teachers, and other school personnel in implementing various phases of school programs. Volunteers may be recruited from many different populations including parents, business people, community members, retired senior citizens, high school, Montgomery College, and college and university students.
