Volunteers

The Sunshine School is founded on volunteerism and has been fortunate to have the dedicated and selfless support of many persons since its inception. 

The Sunshine School encourages volunteers to join the efforts of helping our students learn. Persons living on Bequia or just visiting the island for extended periods are invited to assist.

Several repeat visitors to Bequia continue to volunteer annually for periods ranging from a couple of weeks to several months. These volunteers assist in a variety of areas ranging from taking a disruptive child for a walk, helping in the classroom, or teaching woodwork or music. The range of assistance could be endless, but the key is to utilize the expertise of the volunteer and maximize the teaching potential. 

We have had the good fortune of having several volunteers who have made a significant impact over the years.  To those volunteers who spent time at school working with students and supporting teachers, we appreciate your effort and thank you. We hope that you had a good experience at the Sunshine School, and we look forward to seeing you again.

The many volunteers who have supported the Board with the annual auction, jumble sales, and other fundraisers we offer our sincerest “thank you”.

Persons who are interested in volunteering at the school may apply to the Head Teacher.

Volunteers for the fundraising events may contact any board member. Every responsible body helps distribute the load – come and pick an event or two to help with.
