CONNECT Cohort

April is an opportunity to celebrate the volunteers who dedicate their time and talents to strengthening your school communities. National Volunteer Week (April 20–26) highlights the contributions of volunteers nationwide while National Public School Volunteer Week (April 21-25) specifically recognizes the parents, guardians, and community members who make a difference in your schools every day.

For our CONNECT Cohort members in school marketing and communications, this is a perfect opportunity to spotlight the volunteers who support your schools. Here are a few resources to help you engage and celebrate:

Points of Light – National Volunteer Week Resources: Ideas, templates, and recognition tools to help you celebrate volunteers. https://www.pointsoflight.org/nvw

National Association for Family, School, and Community Engagement (NAFSCE) – School Volunteer Resources: Best practices for engaging and recognizing school volunteers. https://nafsce.org

Looking for more ways to celebrate? Share volunteer impact stories, host an appreciation event, or create a social media campaign thanking those who contribute their time to your school.

Let’s show our gratitude and inspire even more people to get involved! 💙
