Volunteer School Family Events

Overview

Join to apply for the Volunteer for School Family Events role at Community Resources, Inc.

Community Resources, Inc. provides educational opportunities to more than 100 schools and 70,000 students each year. CRI calls upon the knowledge, energy and commitment of hundreds of volunteers from the community. CRI brings volunteers into classrooms to share information and expertise on hundreds of topics. CRI also creates family reading, math and science nights that bring students and their parents back to school to have fun learning together.

The Academic Mentors program matches gifted students with professionals in the community in areas of career and curricular interest. CRI develops and conducts career fairs, science fairs, multi-cultural festivals and other customized special events for elementary, middle and high schools.

Volunteering at our family events is a great way to connect with youth and make a positive impact in your community. Our Family Nights are after-school events lasting about two hours and take place around Denver throughout the year. We also offer volunteer opportunities at special events like festivals, usually held in the fall and spring. Get involved and help create meaningful experiences for families across Denver!

Volunteer shifts typically begin at 5:00 p.m. in the school cafeteria, for set up and serving of a complimentary pizza dinner for our families at 5:30 p.m. Following dinner, entertaining and educational programming occurs from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m.

If you wish, you are invited to share in the post dinner experiences with the families for the most interactive volunteer involvement.

Bilingual (English/Spanish) speakers are particularly needed.

Some events require a background check as you may be unsupervised while working with young students. You will be notified if a background check is needed and will be required to submit personal information online.

Once you are approved as a volunteer, sign ups for specific events will be done via Sign Up Genius .

This is a great opportunity for individuals, families, friends, and volunteer groups. We can provide verification of hours.
