Volunteering

Why volunteer?

It is a way to get to know the Franco-American School of Norfolk (FASN) better and to actively support our students. It is also an opportunity to propose activities in partnership with Norfolk Public Schools (NPS) and Virginia Beach Public Schools (VBPS).

How can students volunteer?

Be a tutor to American students learning French. Help organize events such as the Candlemas and the French language competition with the Alliance française (holding a games stand, hosting a workshop, selling cakes etc.).

The pros : 

– Children offer their time and good humor for a few hours.

– This allows to meet, exchange with French families outside FASN as well as American families from Norfolk and Virginia Beach.

– Each child volunteer is issued with a certificate of voluntary service.

How can parents help?

–  participate in the various potlucks.

– participate in the FASN stand at Norfolk festival.

– monitor the test runs.

– but also have the possibility to become a member of the Establishment Council or the Board of Directors.
