A Head Start volunteer project was designed for a college-level child development course and implemented in three different sections of the class across two semesters. Overall, 70 students participated (65 females and 5 males) with assessment data collected from student volunteers and Head Start teachers and administrators. Students reported a number of benefits from their participation, including hands on learning associated with course content, positive feelings about themselves for volunteering, and in some cases a better appreciation of early childhood education. Pre-activity and post-activity measures revealed significant changes in student attitudes toward the Head Start program and clients. In addition, all Head Start teachers and administrators were pleased with the positive impact the students had on their program and all expressed a strong desire to continue the project in the future.
