How To Volunteer

Seniors for Success

Seniors for Success is an intergenerational program sponsored by Project Success. Volunteers include grandparents, retirees, and senior volunteers who have a little time they could give to help children in area schools. 

Volunteers work as little as one hour per week to help children by listening to them read, working with math flashcards, practicing spelling words, etc.  Each volunteer is assigned to work with a teacher and a particular classroom.  Some volunteers also help with classroom projects, share past experiences and hobbies, and generally give support to show the children that someone wants to help them succeed in school.

Service Fairs

Do you need help getting the word out about your agency’s services?  Does your program want to reach more families?  To sign up for a booth at an upcoming school Service Fair, contact Leslie Dunkak at 421-8074.

Other Opportunities at Project Success

Whether it is stuffing backpacks with school supplies for area homeless children, sticking labels on books for Family Reading Nights, or assembling information packets for parents in our Right Track truancy program, opportunities abound.  Call Leslie Dunkak at 421-8074 for more information.

“Of all the community initiatives funded through state assistance, Project Success is without question the program that I and all of our principals would testify as being the one that has helped families in need the most.”
