Volunteer Palm Springs (VPS) is a grassroots organization committed to renewing the spirit of giving back through volunteering. In addition VPS has created P.S. Cares, a community-based education and awareness public safety program designed to build a better and safer community through its new Blink for Safety and Ghost Bikes programs
"VOLUNTOURISM"
Whether you are a Palm Springs resident, ‘snowbird,’ or visitor, VPS wants to provide you with a variety of volunteer opportunities through our partnerships of local non-profit and community organizations. We hope you will find something of interest which will inspire you to volunteer your time and talent while making an impact on our community. We welcome you, and anyone you know, to browse our website featuring many non-profit organizations looking for volunteers.There is no cost to join VPS!
P.S. CARES
P.S. Cares is our VPS community public safety program designed to promote bicycle, pedestrian and traffic safety through education and awareness.
Our new Blink for Safety bicycle lighting program focuses on providing bicycle lights for cyclists on our city streets. Funding for this program is provided by annual fundraisers during Modernism Week. And in partnership with PSPD and the City of Palm Springs, our other new PS Cares initiative, the Ghost Bikes Program, will honor individual community members who have lost their lives in bicycle accidents, while at the same time providing stark reminders to share the road safely.
VPS aims to be fresh, innovative, fun and supportive in all our programs and volunteer opportunity programs.
Our unique ability to ‘pass through volunteers’ from our membership to help other non-profits with their fundraising events provides a variety of opportunities to choose from throughout the year. VPS only partners with non-profit organizations (not for-profit events), so your volunteer talents and time are always respected and valued.
