Want to become a VIPS Volunteer?
Thank you for volunteering your time to enrich our students’ learning experiences. The application to volunteer is electronic and can be accessed by using any device connected to the Internet. The link below will take you to the Volunteer/Partnership Programs Department webpage where the application can be found under "Related Links.” Please be sure to read the Online Application Instructions prior to filling out the application.
As a reminder, all volunteer approvals will expire on June 30 of each year, requiring volunteers to renew.
After the application has been cleared, we welcome you to come and volunteer your time. When you arrive on campus, please go to the front office to sign in on the computer. After you have signed in, you will be required to show your driver's license or a photo ID. You will then be given an ID badge. Please wear this badge in a visible place while on campus. Be sure to stop by the office to sign out and turn in your badge when you are leaving the campus.
