Volunteers needed to help conduct a community assessment as part of a federal refunding application. Head Start is a Federal program for preschool children from low-income families. The City of Phoenix Head Start program strives to support the whole child while offering individualized learning opportunities in a safe and healthy learning environment.

The purpose of the Community Assessment identifies community strengths, needs, and characteristics that in turn drive the goals and services of the Head Start program. Over a three-month period we will be collecting information from and about our community using census data, surveys, interviews and focus groups.

We are asking for volunteers to be facilitators and recorders for focus groups, conduct interviews and help process the results. There is no experience necessary, only the desire to work with a variety of populations and be part of a process that leads to giving children a healthy start in life..
