SchoolCenter Picture


Thank you for your interest in our Volunteer in Public Schools (VIPS) program! People who get involved not only support students' success while attending Texarkana Arkansas Schools, but also share this extraordinary time in children's lives. Through your involvement, the schools benefit from your enthusiasm, input and support!

By sharing your time and talent, you can enrich the learning experience for students and provide needed support to teachers. Perhaps most importantly, you will serve as a positive adult role model for students in our schools.

Every volunteer must complete a Volunteer Application prior to any assignment. A background check is conducted at no cost to the volunteer. This policy applies to "one-time" volunteer jobs (such as chaperoning a field trip), as well as jobs which are on-going.

"The Volunteer's Creed"

A hundred years from now
It will not matter
What my bank account was,
The sort of house I lived in,
Or the kind of car I drove.
But the world may be different
Because I was important
In the life of a young person.
