Campus Cleanup
Tennyson’s campus serves children receiving K-12 schooling, family, and outpatient therapy. We pride ourselves on creating an atmosphere where kids and families feel engaged and welcome. Our small (but mighty!) maintenance team always appreciates the extra help from groups who want to volunteer. There are a wide variety of needs depending on the season but volunteer work can include gardening, cleaning classrooms, and painting touch-ups.
Commitment Level: One-Time
Become a Classroom Volunteer
Classroom volunteers work directly with students in our K-12 School & Day Treatment program for children who have experienced complex trauma. They support school staff with day-to-day operations including helping students with assignments, crafts, or other activities.
Commitment Level: Recurring
Field Day
Tennyson celebrates the end of the school year every year with Field Day! Field Day allows our students and staff to come together, show Tennyson pride, and spend the day being active. Please contact us at Caitlyn.Frischmon@
