Volunteer Services

Parents and community volunteers have become the backbone of PCI's Head Start and Early Head Start programs.

Parents that volunteer are directly involved in their child's development and have direct involvement in decision making and planning through participation in the Parent Center Committee and Policy Council.

Community volunteers contribute many valuable services, providing health-screening services, counseling services and a wide variety of assistance to families in need of clothing, housing, employment training and literacy services.
