Lower School Opportunities
Making a difference on the Grades K-6 Campus.
Volunteers are a vital part of community life at Worthington Christian School, and opportunities abound for parents, grandparents, alumni, alumni parents, and friends to get involved. Let us know if you don’t find an opportunity that fits your skillset or schedule. We welcome your ideas.
Volunteers must complete a background check before serving.
Art Room Helper
Art Room Helpers assist with various tasks, including displaying art throughout the school, getting out and cleaning up supplies, and coming alongside the teachers and students as needed.
Contact Suzanne Homoelle or submit the Volunteer Interest Form to get involved.
Cafeteria Help
Do you have time to spare during the day and love interacting with the students and staff? The cafeteria may be your spot! Lower School volunteers help the younger students with opening packages, getting condiments for the students, and helping clean the tables between lunch lines. The Upper School volunteers work beside the food service staff to help serve our students and staff as they come through the lunch line. Volunteers will need to be in place and trained before school starts.

A volunteer meeting is held at the beginning of the year to gain more information.
