Parent Participation

CYS needs parents, too! Want to get engaged with CYS? Here are some ways:

  • Parent Volunteers: Throughout the year, we need parents to help out with activities. The Parent Participation Program encourages parents to volunteer with CYS, assisting with special events and activities (holiday events, special curriculum programs, etc.); small group activities; and special projects (playground improvement, procurement of equipment; etc.). Parent Participation Program volunteers can take advantage of reduced child care fees for regularly scheduled programs after volunteering for a targeted amount of hours. 
  • Parent Education: Join us for a variety of parental education classes to enhance parenting skills; to navigate the road to college; and to understand special needs paperwork (IBP; 504).
  • Parent Advisory Board (PAB): If you're interested in a leadership role; look into the Parent Advisory Board. The PAB meets monthly to discuss ways to enhance our Child & Youth Programs.
