Why Volunteer with TeamUP

In the Sarasota County School District, nearly half of all students come from low-income homes. The impact of poverty on a child’s academic achievement is significant and starts early (Edelman, Stand for Children). Students from low-income are five times more likely to drop out of high school than those who are high-income and 13 times less likely to graduate from high school on time (National Center for Education Statistics).

Many schools in the Sarasota County School District rely on volunteers. By volunteering in the Sarasota County Schools, you can help a student reach his or her full potential and improve the quality of your own life at the same time. No special skills are required–only some time and a giving heart.
