    Volunteer registration

    Effective July 31, 2019, all VIPS volunteers will need to register online in the Raptor volunteer management system and agree to the annual background check for the 2019-2020 school year.

    After registering online and undergoing the annual background check, volunteers can work in any HISD school for the school year. All schools can track volunteer hours donated to the school district by establishing an online VIPS account.
