WatchD.O.G.S.

The WatchD.O.G.S. program's goal is to help every school in America be positively influenced by the committed involvement of fathers and father figures in the lives of their children and students.  They perform a variety of tasks during their volunteer day including monitoring the school entrances, assisting with loading and unloading buses and cars, monitoring the lunch room, or helping in the classroom under the direction of the teacher.
