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.

We will help you to determine the volunteer opportunity that is best for you according to your skills, preferences and availability.
