Home > VIPS
VIPS is the Volunteers in Public Schools program at Colorado State University. The program allows employees up to 5 hours per month administrative leave to volunteer in any public school district. The program was developed by Colorado State University Classified Personnel Council in 1995 and is now a permanent program open to all Colorado State employees.
Why does the University support VIPS?
- Because it upholds Colorado State's commitment to support public K-12 schools - a goal that is in the University Strategic Plan and has strong support from the Colorado Legislature.
- It encourages Colorado State staff to get involved with kids and the community, sending the message that our University cares.
- It allows employees to strengthen their skills by taking on projects outside their normal workload - learning by giving back.
