Volunteer!
How can you contribute?
The needs are great and the possibilities are almost endless. For most positions, there is no experience necessary and no special skills are required. Simply a willingness to help will qualify you for many jobs, ranging from a one-time to a weekly commitment. However, opportunities do exist for volunteers with special skills, interests, and backgrounds. Some opportunities require training which VIPS will provide.
A list of general needs--some available at all schools, others geared for elementary-age students--is followed by a brief description of some of our core volunteer programs. Volunteer opportunities are available in the following categories:
“Behind-the-Scenes” Volunteer Opportunities
Assembling/Collating Papers
Baking
Correcting student work
Events
Fundraising
Phone calls, Mailings
