Grant Elementary School VIP opportunities are available Monday through Thursday. The shift you sign up for will be the day of the week that you volunteer for the rest of the 12 week session.
This program begins the week of September 23 and ends December 20. By signing up you are committing to read with students weekly.
New VIP volunteers will be provided a brief orientation and training.VIP volunteers will be subject to a background check before beginning your volunteer activity.
