Empower Our Community Through Positive Change

 

Evergreen Mingyuan is run by a wonderful group of parents and volunteers who are passionate about our mission. We have roles to fit the time commitment you are willing to make, from one-time opportunities, recurring opportunities, and board positions. Examples include volunteers to help set up and take down classrooms, cultural events, and run various aspects of the school.

 

Evergreen Mingyuan is not just a place to study Traditional Mandarin (繁體) language, but one to learn and grow. While we do not have a volunteering requirement, our school only exists with help from our families. We thank all our families for their service and dedication.

 

Roles and Responsibilities for Classroom Volunteers

 

When parents volunteer in the classroom, it is essential to understand the responsibilities and expectations for that role. You’ll help with supervision and general support for the teachers.

 

Responsibilities Are To:

  • Support: Actively support the teacher and assist in various classroom activities.

  • Coordinate: Help coordinate classroom needs for class projects and activities.

  • Be a Role Model: Participate in the class and support students in learning, safety, and building a positive mindset.

 

Expectations for Parent Volunteers

  • Dependability: Be responsible for your scheduled times and notify the school if you are not able to meet your commitment.

  • Confidentiality: Do not discuss matters concerning students with anyone but the designated school staff.

  • Objectivity: Do not allow your personal feelings or favoritism to enter into your work as a volunteer.

 

Examples of Volunteer Involvement

  • Following the teacher’s instructions and assisting in classroom activities

  • Supervising children during craft time and helping pick up materials

  • Accompanying younger children to restrooms during snack time and ensuring proper hygiene

  • Supporting children who need a break by sitting with them and talking until they’re ready to rejoin the class
