Spend one hour per week in the classroom and impact a student's life.  VIBES (Volunteers in Bellevue's Education System) is a highly successful, in-school volunteer program, supporting students of all needs.  We place volunteers in schools as one-on-one mentors and tutors and also as classroom volunteers.  Opportunities are available at all 27 Bellevue schools in grades k-12, including district preschools and Headstart programs. 

Volunteers are positive, dependable role models.  As a volunteer, you can support academic achievement, encourage development of social skills, and motivate students to become life-long learners.  In just one hour, you can have a lasting impact on a child's ilfe.  Become a VIBES volunteer and make a difference.

"VIBES is such an extraordinary program.  It is a win-win situation for the mentor and the children."     Elementary School Volunteer
