Thank you for your interest in volunteering!

"I believe that to meet the challenge of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. We must all learn to work not just for our own self, family, or nation but for the benefit of all humankind. Universal responsibility is the key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace, the equitable use of natural resources, and through concern for future generations, the proper care of the environment." --The Dalai Lama

Guidelines for Iowa ASCD Chapter Volunteers

Keep in mind, Chapter members will be given priority vs. non-chapter members when we are choosing volunteers - join today if you are not already a member!

  • Please arrive on time to all volunteer events.
  • Stay in contact with the volunteer organizer to coordinate arrival time, confirm location, and exchange contact information.
  • Remember that you are representing Iowa ASCD, take time after an event to tidy up before leaving and if possible, thank the host.
