Help Children Learn: Volunteering and Learning at Home
Parents and community members can help increase student achievement. Many schools and community organizations have developed programs and resources to engage families in school-based and home-based support for children’s learning.
A strong volunteer program offers the chance for families and community members to become familiar with the school while providing meaningful support to children and staff. Volunteering Resources:
- Art Adventure Program at Minneapolis Institute of Arts
- Free Training for Reading Tutors from Minnesota Literacy Council
- Planning for Volunteers - Guidebook
Parents want to know what is being taught and what takes place in the classroom; they can reinforce it at home if they are provided with adequate support. Learning at Home Resources:
- Bilingual and English Language Learners Resource from ¡Colorín Colorado!
- Free Family Science Guide from Medtronic

- Get Ready for College from MN Office of Higher Education
- Minnesota North Star Kids' Page from Minnesota State Government Online
