Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. How can I get involved with Head Start?
A. Head Start welcomes volunteers. By becoming a volunteer, you can help in the classroom and on field trips, assist in renovating centers, and support parent education. Your volunteer experience may later qualify you for training which can help you find employment in the child care field.
Q. How much time do I need to volunteer?
A. This is really up to you. You can tailor your volunteer experience to your schedule and availability.
Q. What documentation is required to volunteer?
A. As a regular volunteer (volunteer three or more days a week), you will submit documentation from your healthcare provider, indicating that you are free from TB. You will also complete a DSS 2924 Central Registry Check to determine that you have no incidences of child abuse and neglect on record with the state of South Carolina. *During the COVID-19 Pandemic we are limiting the number of visitors to our program.
Q. Will I be trained as a volunteer?
A. Volunteers must attend a Volunteer Orientation. This orientation will provide an overview of the Head Start program as well as volunteer expectations and standards of conduct.
