Like many non-profit organizations, the Davenport Community Schools relies on the support of volunteers to fulfill our mission to serve the youth of our community. Nowhere else in the Quad Cities do so many people come together on a daily basis to serve a common good. This site is designed to share information on how to get more involved. A common saying is that “ . . . it takes a village to raise a child.” Providing a successful education to the youth of our community does require the involvement and support of many groups. You can take part in providing a quality learning experience by volunteering at our schools in a number of ways: serving as a member of the PTA/PTO, or parent booster club at your student’s school, volunteering to help during your school’s special events and activities, giving time as a mentor or tutor in the classroom, or taking part in such special district-wide programs as the First Class/First Day school supply drive or Coats for Kids program or the Local School Improvement Advisory Committee. You can also contact the principal or classroom teachers at your school to see what special needs they may have for volunteers. Research shows that involved parents and an involved community support student achievement.
