Head Start is required to meet a non-federal share match of 25% of the grant. The in-kind amount we need to match is over $400,000 each year. The match is accomplished by volunteers, donations of supplies and material, monetary donations, etc. Parents will be asked to volunteer in many ways, such as helping in the classroom, riding the bus, helping in the kitchen, helping on field trips, volunteering to be on Policy Council and various committees, attending classroom meeting nights, etc. A major portion of our in-kind is generated through at-home in-kind by working with your child on the goals that you have established along with the teacher.
