Opportunity Details
2025 McKinney-Vento (Express Airport Inn)
Brief Organizational Description:
McKinney-Vento is the federal legislation intended to break down barriers to enrollment, allow for full school participation and provide supports for academic success for students who are experiencing unstable housing. We make sure that students are allowed to remain enrolled in their Henrico County school no matter where they are laying their heads at night.
Volunteer Position Description and Purpose:
The McKinney-Vento Team at Henrico County Public Schools is preparing for our upcoming summer pop-up engagement/enrollment events. The primary objective of these events is to establish connections with families residing in hotels throughout Henrico County, ensuring they have the necessary resources for a smooth return to school in the fall. While our planning efforts have been substantial, we are currently seeking volunteers to assist on the day of these events.
Below, you will find a schedule of dates and locations for our upcoming events, allowing you to mark your calendars accordingly. If you or members of your organization are interested in participating in one or more of these events, we encourage you to sign up promptly. Our aim is to guarantee that all students, regardless of their living situation, have the essential resources they need before the commencement of the school year.
Recognizing the significant task at hand, we recognize the importance of YOUR HELP in ensuring the success of our summer pop-up events. Your involvement is instrumental in making a positive impact and supporting our students in need.
Thank you for considering this opportunity, and we eagerly await your support to make our summer pop-up events a resounding success.
