How to Get Involved

The COMPASS Community Schools model has contributed to positive progress in family involvement, community engagement and advances in academic achievement through improved student behavior and attendance. In addition, the partnership has continued to receive recognition on the state and national level as a vibrant and energetic movement in the Lehigh Valley. COMPASS welcomes volunteers to get connected and be part of this exciting endeavor. A COMPASS staff member will assist all potential volunteers in getting connected to a COMPASS Community School to understand and experience how they can contribute to meaningful change through the use of their own talents, gifts, and skills.
