Stemming from the desire to honor the memories of the Nation’s Heroes and create a positive impression on the younger generation.
01
Heroes in the Classroom is a nonprofit program connecting public service professionals with elementary youth. The program aims to honor and celebrate public service personnel and school teachers, inspire and empower the younger generation, and foster community, support and trust.
WHY WE STARTED THIS PROGRAM
Positive adult relationships and role models are vital to the development of a child. Honoring our community leaders and heroes, building relationships, and supporting our youth is what our program is all about!
The program is designed to match volunteers with a particular teacher and classroom. Volunteers are encourage to participate for one hour per week throughout the school year. We will provide funds for each volunteer to purchase supplies and treats for your classroom. The teachers’ preferences and volunteer's schedules will determine the volunteers’ classroom time. Once your year of volunteering is complete, Heroes in the Classroom will make a donation to your department or charity of your choice as a THANK YOU for your service!
The goal of our program is to build relationships with your classroom Teacher and continue volunteering year after year!
