Invest your talents in VIPS
Volunteers are an essential part of VIPS and our mission to serve young children with vision loss and their families. By giving your gift of time and talent to VIPS, you are giving something that is just as valuable as any monetary gift we may receive. Becoming a volunteer for VIPS means you believe in the work we do and the potential of the children we serve. If you are a civic-minded individual who is looking to give back to your community, consider becoming a volunteer for VIPS. All three VIPS locations have numerous volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Please inquire with each office for a current list of volunteer positions that are available.
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
