Ways to Support Schools

Allies for Education offers businesses a menu of involvement opportunities related to student achievement in literacy, math & science, physical activity, or school to career programs. Businesses choose a level of involvement that best matches their needs and internal capacity. Options include:

Volunteer with your coworkers. Your organization's staff members volunteer as a group, by either rotation or consistent attendance on a weekly, monthly, or bi-monthly basis. It's a win-win opportunity: students connect the skills they are learning to real job opportunities, and businesses have a meaningful way to engage in our local community. Check out our volunteer opportunities.
Lead a special project. You can assist the Education Fund with strategic development. These projects might include working in the areas of marketing, project management or fundraising. days. Inquire about a project today.
