All over the country, volunteers are serving their school districts and communities. Finding them isn’t the only task but managing and maintaining volunteer relationships can quickly become a challenge without the proper tools and resources.. Host Tyler Kern talked to a school official with a lifetime of volunteer experience. Chris Robison, the Volunteer Program Supervisor for the Lake Washington School District, said volunteers are vital and functional to the success of any school. She added that in addition to teachers and administrative staff, volunteer relationships play a significant role in a child’s educational experience.

“Obviously, we want our kids to graduate, to be future ready, and be able to contribute to our societies. So, we want them to be successful, and volunteers being there every step of the way with academics and enrichment programs really do help to achieve that mission,” Robison said.
