ON GOING EVENTS:
North Shore Senior Center
Find different ways to assist the older adults who participate in the programs, services, and activities offered by North Shore Senior Center. More than 500 volunteers provide countless hours of support to keep the Center vibrant and working efficiently.
This would be an amazing opportunity for parents who have the availability to help out!

Bernies Book Bank
Bernie’s Book Bank is looking for volunteers that want a hands-on opportunity to impact the literacy crisis in Chicagoland. They welcome volunteers of all ages and abilities. Drop-in during their scheduled volunteer hours or they can organize a convenient time for GJK to help sort, sticker and pack quality books for at-risk children.
Great idea for Room mom’s to organize amongst their grades and classrooms as a fun and rewarding project!

The Alliance for Early Childhood
Glencoe Junior Kindergarten is proud to me a member of the The Alliance for Early Childhood, a community organization that promotes the healthy growth and development of children from birth to age eight by providing resources, programs, and support for the parents and professionals who teach and care for them.
Founded in 1989 as the Winnetka Alliance for Early Childhood, the Alliance changed its name to The Alliance for Early Childhood in 2011, in recognition of its growth well beyond the borders of Winnetka. Currently, we serve Winnetka, Northfield, Kenilworth, and neighboring communities on the North Shore of Chicago.
