VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

The Early Learning Coalition of Lake County is hosting a Uniting For Children Early Childhood Conference at LSSC on April 1, 2017. The annual workshop is for early childhood professionals and leaders in the community. Last year, we had over 200 attendees and expect to meet or exceed that this year. We have a need for volunteers to assist our staff with the conference on that day and thought that perhaps that Tavares High School had students who needed community service hours and could assist us on April 1st.
