NTPS Helping Hands Program

Is your non-profit, place of worship, or other organization interested in partnering with a neighborhood school? Helping Hands could be a great volunteer opportunity for you! You can help support student achievement and a school's improvement plan while providing recognition and volunteer opportunities for your organization.

This unique partnership allows your organization to help support your local school and be recognized for doing so. Commit to at least 3 agreed-upon events or activities at your partner school, and we'll help tell the community all about it! Download a brochure >> (PDF)
