Volunteering

Help us enable teachers and students in Indianapolis to achieve greatness.

Our Volunteer Vision

Teachers’ Treasures believes that volunteers are vital to the success of our teachers and our mission of providing the tools students need to be successful academically and personally.

We believe volunteers bring optimism, customer service, create positive energy, and share diverse backgrounds and experiences that make our mission successful and our organization stronger. Volunteers create an enhanced experience for our teachers.

​We strive to create an environment where volunteers:

  • Contribute in meaningful ways to teacher and student success.

  • Reflect the diverse communities they come from.

  • Are valued for their unique abilities and experiences.

  • Are trained, encouraged, and supported in their work.

  • Have the opportunity to learn about Marion County’s education system and the realities of being a teacher in today’s world.

  • Are empowered to advocate for education and teachers in their communities.

  • Are empowered to take leadership roles within our organization.

Throughout the year, we schedule large project opportunities that are able to accommodate teams wanting to give back. Please reach out to Hanna to get started.
