Engaging Corporate Volunteers in Student Support Roles: Menu of Services

Corporations and corporate volunteers across the country have an important role to play in supporting our P-12 students but often have had difficulty finding the “right” fit. A working group composed of NPSS Supporting Champions and READY SET coalition members worked together over several months starting in the spring of 2023 to identify medium- to high-impact volunteer opportunities to support students in P-12 schools and out-of-school time programs and make a meaningful difference in the education and support of our nation’s children.

When considering the quality of programs, utilize the NPSS Support Hub’s free Voluntary Quality Standards tool, designed for use by schools, districts, state education agencies, youth-serving organizations, foundations, community groups, and others to better understand essential components of quality, set goals as part of existing or emerging continuous improvement processes, set goals when designing new programs, and consider prospective partners.
