Would you like to make a difference in the education of a child with special needs?
The Educational Surrogate Parent Program is looking for caring individuals who are committed to children and understand the importance of education.
The Educational Surrogate Parent Program, coordinated by the New Hampshire Department of Education, Bureau of Special Education, is a volunteer program designed to provide a child with a disability with an educational surrogate parent to act as the child’s educational decision-maker. As the educational decision-maker you would participate in a child’s special education team meetings.
Volunteers:

The NH DOE requires applicants to participate in a one-day training, which is offered at no cost to applicants. The training includes information on the special education process and related topics. (Professional Development credits are available for this training.)
The NH DOE offers ongoing support and assistance to educational surrogate parents. Educational surrogate parents are also eligible to participate in other learning opportunities through the NH DOE.
