Helping Hand Volunteer & Mentor Program
For 41 years Yukon Public Schools Helping Hand Volunteer & Mentoring Program has proudly been an integral part of Yukon Schools and community. As volunteer partners in education, services are provided to enhance students and teachers lives and learning. We also provide parents and community members an enriching and positive volunteer experience while they are involved. We track and record donated volunteer hours. We appreciate every minute you give! Know what is going on in your childs school. We invite and encourage all parents and community memebers to be involved. Allow time to give back to your schools, volunteer for the best volunteer organization in the state, Yukon Schools Helping Hand Volunteers.
Volunteers are needed in each of the seven elementary schools, both middle schools and the two high school campuses.
Please make time in your schedule to get involved. Last year Helping Hand Volunteers, Academic Tutors, Miller Mentors and Student Helping Hands donated over 58,000 hours to help students and teachers. You can sign up to VOLUNTEER any time during the school year.

DENTAL HEALTH MONTH ACTIVITIES - February 2010
Yukon Public Schools, along with local dentists, volunteered to help our students during Dental Health Month by promoting TWO special programs.
Dental Health Day. Dentists will visited all 1st grade classes. A complimentary toothbrush kit and letter were sent home that day.
Friday, February 19th, local dentists presented Yukon’s 8th Annual Give Kids A Smile Program. This national program gives access to dental care to children in grades “K” thru 12.
This is an awesome gift to our students, donated by Yukon dentists. Don’t forget to SMILE and thank them for their volunteer services!
