Volunteer at HISD
"Your time makes a big difference—volunteer today and help our school shine!
Welcome to your volunteer experience with Rucker Elementary! We appreciate your interest in supporting our students and thank you for your investment of time and care. As a new or continuing volunteer, you will have the support of a campus VIPS Coordinator and other staff as you carry out your volunteer assignment.
Volunteers support the district’s main goal: to positively impact student achievement. By serving as a mentor, tutor, chaperone, and role model you are supporting HISD students, parents, and the future generations of the Houston community. Your work has special significance for our school communities and can be life-changing for our students.
Thank you for all you are doing to support Houston ISD and our students!
