Volunteers usually start with 1 day a week, from 3:30-5:30 and are needed on a weekly basis from September – June, between Monday and Thursday. We follow the Danbury Public School calendar except when we have field trips planned on national holidays. Our students do not come in on snow days. We can work with your schedule and be as flexible as needed, but it would be ideal to choose the same day each week to volunteer.

Our Main Goal: DGA’s outreach is fueled by the help of volunteers. We want to make volunteers feel valued and productive. If a volunteer is sitting around, we are not making the most of the resource we have available. Finding and inventing tasks for volunteers creates a fulfilling experience for them, which increases overall retention.
