Zone Associate Volunteer

The Zone Associate Volunteer helps create a clean, encouraging, and uplifting atmosphere throughout our center. This volunteer role combines light tidying, student engagement, and gentle behavior guidance—all with the goal of supporting a safe, joyful, and inclusive environment for our families.

This is a great opportunity for someone who loves working with children, enjoys organizing and creating order, and believes in building a kind, respectful community through everyday actions.

During your volunteer shift, we’ll ask you to rotate through the “zones” in our center to tidy, restock, and reset as you go. While we ask that all families work together to keep our center clean, neat, and tidy, on busy days we rely on our volunteers for a little extra help with this.

• Check that stations are well‑stocked and ready for use
