Academic Volunteer Program
Get involved in your local schools and help empower, challenge, and support our students!
In Centerville Schools, we believe that learning is attainable for all. The mission of the Academic Volunteer Program (AVP) is to involve parents, grandparents and community members to help empower, challenge and support every learner to grow every day by assisting staff in meeting the diverse needs of our students.
Academic volunteer opportunities are available during school hours in grades K-12 and also in one after-school program. Volunteers assist students -- some who may be struggling, others who need to reinforce skills and still others who need enrichment -- in various ways and in many subjects. We try to match volunteer interests and talents with a variety of positions. Click here to view position descriptions.
How to Become an Academic Volunteer
What's New?
We will begin accepting volunteer sign ups for the 2023-24 school year in mid-July. Please check back!
Attention Magsig Parents: Help is needed as a Magsig Volunteer Building Coordinator! Our building coordinators are the incredible parents who work with a building's volunteers and staff to get everyone matched and scheduled. Much of what you do can be done from home, making it a great opportunity for a parent who wants to be involved in the program but only has occasional availability to work in the building. Please contact Heather Schnier to learn more!
