Community Engagment and Volunteerism Resources for K-12 Schools
About these resources

• Coordinate parent volunteers

• Coordinate partnerships with corporations/businesses and community groups

• Learn the basics of volunteer management, including screening volunteers, recruitment and retention, creating assignments and evaluation

• Find service opportunities for young people

• Coordinate service-learning projects

• Learn more about volunteerism and community engagement

• Find local, state and national resources to help you

When you click on a link that goes OUTSIDE of this web site, a new window will be created in your web browser.

These resources were orginally produced for the Texas Education Network (TENET) and produced by staff in the Volunteerism and Community Initiatives at the Charles A. Dana Center, University of Texas at Austin.

These resources are not meant to be used in place of the many excellent publications that provide detailed information about various volunteer management and service leadership topics. Rather, these resources are a starting point for those new to volunteer management, or those professionals seeking more information about a particular issue or topic.

Language varies among different organizations, so you may need to translate some of these materials to your own particular setting.
