INVESTING IN VANCOUVER YOUTH

Vancouver Public Schools serves over 22,000 youth in 37 schools and programs. Support for the Foundation for VPS helps those students overcome barriers to learning and enriches the school experience to promote achievement. It makes a huge difference and changes lives!

Benefits of Giving to Foundation for VPS

Social Impact: Students are better prepared to enter the workforce and contribute to the well-being of our community.

Business values: Many community members choose to patronize businesses supporting students. Fostering a culture of giving back in your business can aid employee recruitment and retention.
