At AGC, volunteers play a pivotal role that extends beyond mere assistance. They are invaluable partners that bring a unique blend of knowledge and diverse talents to the forefront. Volunteers often bring diverse backgrounds and perspectives that contribute to a more inclusive and culturally rich learning environment, which strengthens our learning environment.
At AGC, there are different ways to volunteer, which may include:
Sharing your experiences as guest speakers for units of inquiry
Chaperoning on learning field trips
Take-home projects to support teachers
Read a book in your child’s classroom
Supporting during breakfast and lunch
Providing office support
One-time special projects
