HELP WANTED

The Bridge

If you want to volunteer, you need to be registered with The Bridge .

As you may be aware, the Melrose Public Schools have an organization known as the Bridge, which pairs volunteers in the system with volunteer opportunities. We are lucky at Horace Mann, because we have a dedicated coordinator, Melinda Stockwell, who focuses solely on Horace Mann volunteers and opportunities. Therefore, our volunteer system is very easy to navigate.

If you are a parent, grandparent, or simply a friend of our school, and like to work with children or other parents, there are volunteer opportunities at our school for you.  Let us know what interests you (PDF). 

Volunteering at Horace Mann is a great way for new parents to get to know other parents and get a glimpse of the great place your child spends his or her day at school. As you get the enjoyment of working with others, our school becomes a better place for our students.

Volunteer Registration

Before you may volunteer in our schools you must be registered with the Bridge.

Registration is easy — below we have provided registration forms for "new volunteers", "previously registered volunteers" and a form for those who wish to be listed in the Human Resource Directory. Please fill out the form(s) that best describes your volunteer status and send to Emily Rubenstein at the Bridge via USPS or fax (781.979.2285), or drop it off at the Horace Mann office.
