For forty-five years, the Council has carried out our non-profit mission to provide manpower and funding to recruit, train, and support school-based volunteers and partners to help Sarasota County School District students improve academically and become proud, productive community members.

As a volunteer-run nonprofit, the TeamUP Volunteer & Partnership Council raises funds and puts in the hours to support programs in line with our mission. Currently, our primary initiative is the Rockin’ Reader program, a read-aloud program that improves Kindergarten and First Grade students’ pre-reading skills by pairing them with a volunteer reader. You can support this program by becoming a Rockin’ Reader volunteer or donating funds for volunteer recruitment, volunteer training materials and sessions, program book sets, and more. Go to our Rockin’ Reader tab for detailed program information. We also promote student volunteerism through cash awards to high school seniors for outstanding volunteerism—another program you can support. See our Student Awards tab. All donated funds go directly to program support.
