We are thrilled to welcome you to the Parker Elementary community! Below are volunteer opportunities!

  

Parker Auction Gala - Friday, February 27, 2026

Volunteering at the auction is a fun way to connect with our Parker community, catch up with friends, and enjoy the excitement of the event. Even if you are not attending, there are many ways to help before and during the auction. Shifts are short and flexible, making it an easy way to lend a hand and say hello.

Complete your VIPS for the 25/26 School year

Register with HISD Volunteers in Public Schools (also known as VIPS) as soon as possible to save time before your first volunteer event! You will need to do this if you plan to attend field trips or any other school event.

​​

Every new school year requires a new VIPS approval, so be sure to visit HISD's VIPS page to complete your training and registration. Registration for the 25/26 school year is now open.

Once you are approved, you will receive an email confirmation and the school will be able to see your approval in their system when you arrive to volunteer. When volunteering, you must present a valid ID.
