VOLUNTEERING

“The clients are invaluable to Classroom Connections. Without their help, Classroom Connections would not be so organized, we would have less money to buy school supplies, and probably would not remain open for free teacher shopping…the volunteers have also been especially helpful when I’ve needed help to load and unload supplies at a moments notice from various community sites. The volunteers of Destiny Management are a wonderful asset and do volumes of things at Classroom Connections that are not mentioned.”
Classroom Connections Founder—Donald Hicks

“It has been a pleasure working with Destiny Management over the last two years and supporting their volunteers at New Dimensions. The volunteers have been a great support for our school and have worked in many areas of our facility. The volunteers have especially been helpful during the summer months as we have prepared the school for the return of our students in September. We plan for the Destiny volunteers to continue throughout the year assisting us. The volunteers are always willing to follow any safety protocols that we have in place and the clients are always kind and courteous to our staff. We greatly appreciate our partnership with Destiny.”
