This news brief describes how the faculty and Parent Teachers' Association at Steenrod Elementary School in Wheeling, West Virginia, organized a volunteer fair to increase parent involvement and retain good volunteers. The fair calls attention to the many ways in which volunteers can help. The planning group first listed the school's most important volunteer needs. They agreed on 14 critical areas and provided booths for each of them at the fair, which was held in the school gymnasium. At the fair, a child psychologist described how familiarity with the school alleviates parents' and children's anxieties. Each volunteer activity was rated as to how much time from volunteers was required. Two questions to consider before utilizing volunteers in a school activity are: (1) Will the proceeds from the fundraiser justify the amount of effort invested by the volunteers? and (2) Will the event foster enthusiasm for the organization, resulting in sustained commitment? School administrators are advised to use volunteers efficiently and to value their investments. (LMI)
