Calling all party planners! Help us celebrate graduation day for tiny tots in our Parent-Child Home Program (PCHP).
United Way’s Parent-Child Home Program supports parents to become their child’s first, best teachers so kids start school prepared to learn. It zeroes in on the kindergarten preparation gap during the crucial early years of children’s development with long term benefits to the community.
Join our new PCHP Graduation Party Volunteer Cohorts. This ad hoc group will form ‘Party Committees’ to support graduation events for pre-K students at our partnering PCHP organizations. Volunteers will work closely with a PCHP staff member on planning the event, preparing decorations, giveaways, managing roles on the day of the event and fundraising for the program.
Emerging Leader volunteers will have the opportunity to learn about early learning programs and their intersection with racial equity issues, make connections with participating PCHP organizations and peers, and raise funds for United Way's Early Learning initiatives. Participants will be provided the tools and resources to raise $150 for PCHP.
