Opportunities for All at Leo Augusta
Leo Augusta Children’s Academy is aware that our Blooming Prairie and surrounding communities hold a rich resource and gift in its people and their skills. We are thankful for the individuals who currently volunteer at the Academy, and we continue to seek additional individuals to support our children and the mission of the Academy. We fully believe that our volunteers are part of what holds our Academy community together. Volunteering allows individuals to connect to a community and to make it a better place. Even helping with what may seem like the smallest task can make a real difference in the lives of our children and staff at the Academy.
The volunteers that are currently at Leo Augusta are a vital part of achieving our mission to help our young people maximize their full potential, allowing our children to make connections to their community, to each other, and their world. Here at the Academy, we have a variety of volunteer opportunities to match your interests, passions, and expertise. Whether you have a special skill, talent, or hobby, or possibly you’d like to spend time supporting children and teachers in our classrooms, we have an opportunity for you.
At Leo Augusta, we encourage you to explore the possibilities within the three following categories:

We believe that it is one of the most important investments that can be made for our future.
