Volunteers in Partnership (ViP)

    What is Volunteers in Partnership (ViP)?

         The Uplift Atlas ViP leads and supports school-wide events throughout the school year. Every Uplift Atlas parent is a member of ViP! A vibrant ViP program depends on you in two ways: attending parent meetings and volunteering!

    Attending Parent Meetings

         Grade level meetings, like Parent Conferences, are led by grade level teachers to ensure parents know how their scholars are progressing each Quarter/Semester. ViP Meetings are hosted and led per campus, to allow parents and admin to coordinate campus events and volunteer opportunities. The Uplift Atlas K-12 Leadership Team lead meetings like Coffee with Directors to present important information and resources for parents.

    Support through Volunteering

         Parents are encouraged to volunteer in a variety of activities throughout the school year, but we also understand that parents have a busy schedule! If volunteering during the school day or at after-school events isn't an option, consider donating food, drinks, or other items. There will be many events and opportunities throughout the school year where teachers and staff may ask for donations!

         Parents must complete a background check every year before being able to volunteer on campus. Volunteer and donation opportunities will be posted on a regular basis at uplift.voly.org, as well as listed on our campus newsletters and sent via email.
