Everyone is welcome to volunteer – youth, adults, families, and groups! Families & Schools Together (F&ST) is a dynamic preventative program based on relationship building that unites parents, children, schools, volunteers and the overall community. Volunteers help in providing the set up & clean up of the program space, serving meals, coordinating children’s activities, and other program essentials as needed.Volunteers are expected to be warm, friendly, professional, and positive role models. F&ST is a 9-week program of Catholic Family Service that helps with both family development and increasing family/school connections. It operates a few times throughout the school year at various elementary schools. Volunteers are asked to commit to one 9-week cycle of the program, from 4:30-8:30 each week. Youth can volunteer on their own; children must be accompanied by an adult.
