Volunteer Opportunities

Wellington Christian School supports an aggressive well-organized volunteer program. Under the direction of the Volunteer Coordinator’s office, WCS organizes the time and talents of all WCS volunteers with the various WCS activities, events, and programs. By serving as a WCS volunteer, you will keep tuition costs down, give much needed individualized attention to students, serve teachers and staff. Volunteers receive many untold rewards for their efforts.

All volunteers are part of the WCS extended family. Volunteers assist the PTF, fine arts, athletics, classroom field trips, office services, and the classroom teaching-learning experience. Volunteers are dependable family and community members who, in addition to providing a service to our teachers and students, are learning about our educational program.

We wish each of our volunteers a successful, rewarding, and satisfying experience. Should you have any additional questions, wish to consult with the teacher to whom you are assigned, or need further information, please feel free to call your volunteer coordinator.

Volunteer Policy:

Wellington Christian School considers all parents volunteers. The idea is to be inclusive of all parents, expecting all parents to volunteer in one way or another. The volunteer program at WCS is a partnership; WCS encourages parent involvement. WCS is not a school where parents can abdicate responsibility or expect to drop off their children in the morning when they are three-years-old and not being involved again until graduation. God gave children to parents as part of forming a family, WCS teachers and staff serve families.
