Volunteers

Volunteers needed from all walks of life. At Voyager, community involvement in the school experience is encouraged and welcome. There will be many opportunities for accomplished individuals who wish to share their expertise to do so within our classroom walls.

Voyager’s diverse program offers many opportunities for volunteer teachers, including but not limited to tutoring, before and after school enrichment programs, guest speaker program, teaching a language, teaching an art unit, teaching keyboard or ukulele, serving as a resource for Hawaiian studies, and many more.

Voyager is a community of learners. Volunteer support by individuals or through organizations is both vital and welcomed. Volunteers may participate in the educational program, help with general supervision, or assist in support areas. Some examples of the types of professional expertise we hope to attract from those of you who give back to the community are as follows:

  • Librarians
  • Seniors to read to students
  • Dancers to provide occasional instruction
  • Linguists to broaden the understanding of the link between langauages
  • Scientists and engineers to bring their latest project into the school to enhance student application of scientific principles
  • Information technologists
  • Physicians to help teach about the human body

Obviously, our classroom teachers will have the primary responsibility to teach students at Voyager. Equally important, however, is for Voyager students to learn from the experts in their community. A few hours a month could make a huge difference in the learning capacity and in the lives of these students. But Voyager’s diverse program offers many opportunities for volunteer teachers, including but not limited to tutoring, before and after school enrichment programs, guest speaker program, teaching a language, teaching an art unit, teaching keyboard or ukulele, serving as a resource for Hawaiian studies, and many more.

The safety and well-being of all students is of utmost importance at Voyager. Volunteers can provide valuable assistance by assuring that students in transition between the building and playground or between different locations in the building do so in a safe and secure manner. Large group activities such as field trips combined classes also will benefit from the help of a concerned adult.
