Support for Communities
Since 1984, Safety Town has been an all-volunteer program. We simply could not do what we do without the adults and teens who give so generously of their time to insure your children have a great learning experience. Volunteers can register on our website anytime after Feb 1st.
Adult volunteers may be teachers in the classroom. They are responsible for reinforcing the lesson plan for the day. All supplies and schedules are ready for the volunteer before the first day of class. We also have adults that volunteer on the town, help with snacks, music and other operational needs. We can find a spot for you! Many teachers volunteer the year their 5-year-old attends the Safety Town program. We do not offer child care for younger siblings, but an older child may come and "help". For more info please contact Wendy Saer at 501-580-7278 or wendy@centralarksafetytown.com.
Junior volunteers 12 and over are the backbone of this program. They are instrumental in helping the children learn their safety lessons and have fun. Many of our teens have been with us for five years. This is an excellent way to complete community service hours that so many schools require. To be accepted, a teen must submit an application each year along with a letter of recommendation their first year. The letter can be emailed to wendy@centralarksafetytown.com. Space is limited.
All volunteers in a teaching position must be over 18 and have a background check that we will supply and pay for.
