Volunteer MPS VISTAs work towards eradicating poverty by focusing on the following three areas in Minneapolis Public Schools and district programs:

• Volunteer Program Development – develop and coordinate efforts that engage community volunteers in meeting school and student needs.
   
• Community Partnership Development – build and strengthen partnerships
  between the school and local businesses, nonprofit organizations, or other
  community institutions to access resources (programs, funding sources, etc.)
  that support student achievement.
   
• Youth Leadership & Service – develops and support opportunities for MPS
  students to become more engaged and invested in their education through
  leadership and community service activities.
