How volunteering works today.

Adopt a Campus is CommUnify’s current volunteer pathway: give your time in a Head Start classroom, or back a whole center and the families it serves.

Adopt a Campus

Don’t have a child of your own to enroll, but want to support Head Start?

Volunteer with a classroom

Give your time where children learn every day.

Fund a campus

Back a whole center and the families it serves.

Because our volunteers work alongside young children, everyone who joins a classroom is screened and vetted first.

Every center welcomes a champion.

Medi-Cal & Volunteer Hours

Volunteer hours can count.

Medi-Cal rules now require adults to work or volunteer 20 hours a week to stay enrolled — with exemptions for seniors and people with disabilities. Volunteer opportunities matter more than ever.
