Be a volunteer parent

Do you have a child/children under 5?
Are you interested in sharing your parenting experiences?
Do you have a few hours to participate in first hand learning experiences with the next generation of parents?

Our work in schools is based on the philosophy that it takes community to raise a child and child care skills are essential to a healthy society.

You can contribute to encouraging the students to become better brothers, sisters, uncles, aunties and confident in learning more about becoming a competent carer and possible early childhood professional.

What happens in the classroom?

The units are delivered by trained Plunket Educators and/or teachers
Classes are generally run some time between 8.45am – 3.30pm during the school terms
Most sessions run between 45-60 minutes and parents attend for approximately 30-40 minutes
On arrival at the school office, students will be waiting to help you to the classroom

You will be contacted by your Plunket local Parent Coordinator when they are organizing parents for a session to see if you are available and they will let you know what is expected to happen in each session.

Parent volunteers support some practical sessions.
