Volunteers: We are excited to welcome you back into our schools!
While VIPS volunteer mentors, tutors, and academic coaches rose to the COVID challenge by learning new skills and utilizing technology to maintain connections with students, we are thrilled to welcome our volunteers back into the schools. There will be a tremendous need for additional volunteers to support students this year. If you can give an hour a week (or more!), please contact us and we'll find a meaningful way for you to spend that time. |

Falmouth VIPS receives the Connolly Tribute Fund Award from MMP
Last fall, Falmouth VIPS collaborated with FPS guidance staff to create the Academic Coaching Program, designed to help students who were finding it difficult to stay engaged and learn remotely. That program successfully matched 21 students with coaches last year and will continue as one of the VIPS programs going forward. In recognition of this innovative program, Falmouth VIPS received one of this year's two Connolly Fund grants. |
