GENEVA – After taking a pause during the COVID pandemic, Geneva District 304 is seeking classroom volunteers, officials announced.

The Volunteering with PRIDE program – Proud Retirees (and other) Individuals Dedicated to Education – offers opportunities for approved community members to assist in classrooms.

Volunteers can help with tutoring, mentoring, guest speaking, reading to students, or assisting teachers with small tasks.

Volunteers can apply what they have learned from their careers, hobbies, family life, or other interests. Volunteers may choose a set schedule, or an occasional specific volunteer opportunity.

The school district will match the interests and abilities of the volunteer with the needs of the participating learning environments to determine where they may best be placed. There are volunteer opportunities at the elementary schools, middle schools and high school, and volunteers can choose the building they wish to work in, subject to openings.

Those who are interested should complete an application online at www.geneva304.org. A background check and fingerprinting will be conducted as well.

For more information, call Central Office Receptionist Angela Corngold at 630-463-3000 or email her acorngold@geneva304.org.
