Volunteer Opportunities


At District 186, we value the contributions volunteers make. Our volunteers spend hundreds of hours working with students each year. We could never adequately thank them for all that they do. They touch children's lives and make the world a little better and a little brighter every day!

We invite you to become a volunteer in District 186. There are countless opportunities for you to get involved. Don't wait, you can start today!

The most common ways volunteers support the District are:

  • Mentors
  • Tutors
  • Reading Volunteers
  • Real Men Read
  • Classroom Volunteers
  • Library Volunteers
  • Office/Clerical Volunteer

    While we ask volunteers to commit to one hour a week, we welcome those interested in volunteering more than once a week. If you're interested, let the classroom teacher or school secretary know of your availability.

    BACKGROUND CHECK

    All volunteers are required to complete a background check through the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and Illinois State Police before they begin working with students. Forms are available at each school and in the District office at 1900 W. Monroe. Please complete your form and return to your school's secretary. You will be notified when your background check is complete.

    FOR MORE INFORMATION

    Please click on the "forms" tab on this page for the paperwork required for all volunteers.

    All questions about volunteering should be directed to the Coordinator of Volunteers, Donna Treadwell, at 525-3257. You may also send comments/questions to dtreadwell@sps186.org
