We are deeply grateful for every volunteer who chooses to give their time—we couldn’t do what we do without you.
Behind every backpack packed, shelf stocked or event brought to life is a volunteer like you who makes it all possible. The Education Foundation of Lake County relies on dedicated individuals, families and groups to help bridge gaps in resources for our students and teachers. Whether you have a few hours to give or are looking for a regular commitment, there’s a meaningful way for you to serve.
Make a difference in the lives of Lake County students and educators.
Support public education in a fun, rewarding environment.
Earn community service hours (great for students and civic groups).
Build new skills and connect with like-minded neighbors.
Know your time and energy are truly appreciated.
Help teachers shop for free school supplies by greeting and checking them in/out, restocking shelves and keeping our 3 store locations running smoothly.

Be part of the magic during our largest fundraiser of the year! We need help with admissions, crown flow, ticketing and more during this two-weekend event.
