Any parent, grandparent or legal guardian who is a prospective volunteer who has been deemed ineligible to participate in VIPS after the background check may appeal. The process involves submitting a form and completing an interview with an HISD administrator committee. 

Though no special preparation is needed for this interview, prospective volunteers are welcome to bring any documentation or information that they believe might be helpful for the committee to consider, such as resumes, letters of recommendation or previous volunteer experience.
