Want to Volunteer?

Before volunteering with students or chaperoning a field trip, all volunteers must complete required volunteer training and paperwork. That’s why we’re offering several Volunteer Classes throughout the school year. You only need to attend ONE session to get trained, complete your paperwork, ask questions, and be ready when an opportunity to volunteer comes your way. *All volunteers are pending background check approval.

We get to support our students. We get to strengthen our schools. We get to do it together. Contact Mr. Navarre with any questions regarding the classes, no matter your school of interest.

navarre@hjt1.org or 262-673-2100

Training Date Options:

ALL Volunteer Class Times are 6:15 - 7:00 PM at Lincoln Elementary School Library.
