Volunteers in Partnership

Meridian School’s Volunteers in Partnership (ViP) is a parent-run, membership-free, volunteer organization which coordinates volunteer activities at Meridian. ViP partners with Meridian administration to support the staff, our students, and Meridian’s mission. ViP is not affiliated with PTA, which makes it different from what many parents may be accustomed to.

Why volunteer?

Parent involvement is vital to the School's success and to the success and achievement of each child. Each parent's talents, skills and energies are wholly welcomed toward that end. Research on student achievement indicates that when parents are active members of the child's school life, the child's academic progress accelerates and self-esteem blossoms. Based on this research, parents are strongly encouraged to be involved by volunteering. It is the expectation of Meridian School that each family will volunteer at least 20 hours over the course of each school year.

How can I volunteer?

Parent volunteers do not work within the classroom in an instructional capacity. However, there are many opportunities to become involved, fill out our interest survey here to share where you'd like to help out!

We are looking forward to a great year full of fun events and building relationships. Thank you in advance for the time and support you'll offer to Meridian's students, teachers and community in 2024-2025!
