How to Become a Volunteer
Friends of Canty LOVES and appreciates volunteers!!
Chicago Public Schools requires all volunteers to be screened prior to serving at school. From the CPS website:
"Volunteer activities offer parents and community members opportunities to engage with their local school and support student learning. These experiences are mutually rewarding to students, parents, partners, and schools.
We offer two different levels of volunteer involvement and commitment:
Examples of Level I Volunteers
Overnight field trip chaperones
Mentors
Tutors
Coaches
Non-supervised classroom assistants
Examples of Level II Volunteers
Day field trip chaperones
Assistants in schools with administrative duties
Other volunteer activities in contact with students while supervised"
