About ViPS

Volunteers in Public Schools (ViPS) was founded in 1972 to provide assistance to teachers and other staff members of the Little Rock School District by promoting school volunteerism. ViPS serves as a link between the District and the community while providing parents, patrons, partners, and citizens the opportunity to significantly impact the education of children.

Community support is vital to public education. Positive and productive relationships between stakeholders strengthens the overall educational processes and increases the likelihood of student success. The ViPS community advisory board was established in 1972 during the organization's inception. Today, the 25-member board is comprised of members-at-large and representatives from over a dozen sponsoring organization.
