Investing in Our Children, Building a Brighter Future
As Alma Powell once said, “There is no better investment of time and money than in the life of a child. They are the future.” We at Darul Arqam School firmly believe that community involvement is what molds the students’ lives together. Our Volunteer Program offers ample opportunities for parents and families to create positive differences in our children’s learning and growth processes.
Why Volunteer?
Volunteers play a very vital role in assisting teachers, augmenting school programs, and building a positive educational environment. Parental involvement strengthens the school community, but most importantly, it instills in children a deeper commitment to their own education.
Volunteer Requirements
To help ensure the success of our school, we require 25 volunteer service hours contribution from each family annually. Families who cannot adhere to this expect a fee payment of $ 250 per family, which one must pay by the start of March for every school year.
