Head Start Volunteer Opportunities

Interested in volunteering to work with young children this semester? There are opportunities available at Head Start. This program provides comprehensive child development services to economically disadvantaged children and families.

What do IU students do at Head Start? Students work a 1 ½ hour shift per week and have the opportunity to:

·         Work with economically disadvantaged infants or preschool children in an educational setting.

·         Observe and interact with normally developing or special needs children (e.g., autistic, down syndrome)

·         Network with early education teachers and administrators at Head Start.

·         Become familiar with educational, health, nutritional, social and other services provided to enrolled children and their families.

·         Interact with parents and family members of the Head Start children.
