Our Volunteers
In both the Old and New Testaments, God’s people didn’t live as islands unto themselves, but strove to be part of a larger, godly community. Roots seeks to provide the opportunity for families to have a Christian homeschooling community in which they can share ideas, challenge one another, encourage and support one another.
Through the ideas, commitment and work of our parents and staff, Roots is able to offer a wide variety of ways for this Christian homeschooling community to grow. Every mother, father or student who volunteers some time to Roots programs opens the door to benefits for many families. Some of the areas that are heavily supported by volunteers and serve the broader Roots community are:
1. Fieldtrips
2. Roots library
3. Social events for families and/or parents
4. Roots monthly newsletter
5. Roots support group
6. Website maintenance
7. Roots Homeschooling Committee
No parent is required to volunteer for Roots. However, parents that do volunteer have often reported an appreciation and acknowledgement that the experience helped them become more a part of the Roots community. Many of the volunteer opportunities require very modest involvement.
