Volunteer Guidelines
There are very few “absolutes” in the Newport News VIPS program. Our program works because it is flexible; however, even the most flexible program needs a general framework. It is especially important that all programs follow the requirements set forth in items one and two listed below. Questions about program policy should be directed to the individual school principal or the volunteer director.
Each PTA unit in Newport News is required to provide a Council Representative to attend the general membership meetings of the Newport News Council of PTAs. In addition, this individual also has the following responsibilities.
The following is a listing of the standing committees and the descriptions of what duties those committees have. If you are interested in serving on a committee, please notify the council president at
