The Faith
Community Volunteer Program is a partnership between Poudre School District
and communities of faith where volunteerism supports both children’s
learning and family involvement in education.

Shortly after the
tragic events at Columbine High School, April 1999, five pastors from local
churches asked district leadership how communities of faith could become
involved in schools in a meaningful and positive way. The Faith Community
Volunteer Program is the result of those early conversations.

The program
provides volunteers from communities of faith the opportunity to be of
service in the local public schools. Although this is not a time or place to
fill personal agendas, we believe compassionate efforts from volunteers
model caring to our students. |

“The indispensable and transforming
work of faith-based and other charitable service groups must be encouraged.
Government cannot be replaced by charities, but it can and should welcome
them as partners. The paramount goal must be compassionate results, not
compassionate intentions.”
—George W. Bush
