Every student benefits from having caring adults who encourage them, support their goals and help them see what is possible. In Brazosport ISD, that support comes from teachers and staff, but it also comes from parents, families, businesses, churches, organizations and community members who choose to invest in our students.

Community involvement can make a lasting difference in the life of a student. Whether it is a mentor who takes the time to listen, a volunteer who reads with a child, a business that partners with a school, a coach who encourages a student-athlete or a community member who simply finds a way to show support, these connections help students know they are cared for and supported.

BISD offers many opportunities for community members to get involved, and there is a place for everyone—regardless of how much time they have, what their interests are or what talents they can share.

Ways to Get Involved

• All In for BISD — Connect with community partners who want to invest in student success through partnerships, shared opportunities and support for BISD schools and programs.
• BISD Athletics — Support BISD student-athletes and athletic programs through volunteer opportunities, events and other forms of community support.
• BISD LiftUp Mentoring Program — Make a lasting impact in the life of a student with just 30 minutes a week. LiftUp mentors encourage students, build relationships and provide support that helps students recognize and reach their full potential.
• B.O.A.T.S. Mentoring Program — Building of Athletes Through Service (BOATS) connects community men—including many former BISD athletes—with football players for mentorship. The program provides students with positive role models who can encourage them both on and off the field.
• BISD Reading Heroes — Help students build stronger reading skills and develop a love of reading by volunteering to read with students. Reading Heroes provide encouragement and positive adult interaction while helping students grow as readers.
• Loving BISD — Show care for students, families and schools in practical ways by helping meet needs and spreading kindness throughout BISD and the community.
• BISD Volunteers — Share your time and talents with BISD schools. Volunteers can make a difference in the lives of students and staff in many different ways, depending on their interests, skills and availability.
• BISD Community Ambassadors — Become a voice for BISD by helping build positive relationships and greater awareness of the district and its schools throughout the community.

Community members can also learn more about BISD, its schools, programs and mission, as well as explore the BISD Virtual High School, which offers flexible learning options for students through fully virtual coursework or a hybrid model that combines online learning with Career and Technical Education, Fine Arts, athletics and other on-campus opportunities.

Every Connection Matters

Community involvement does not have to look the same for everyone. Some people may have the time to mentor a student each week. Others may volunteer at an event, read with students, support an athletic program, provide resources through a business partnership or simply find a way to encourage a student or teacher.

Each of those connections matters.

BISD believes students benefit when they have caring adults beyond the classroom who encourage them, support their goals and help them see what is possible.

“Our schools are stronger when our community is involved, and our students benefit from having more caring adults in their lives,” Superintendent Danny Massey said.

BISD is grateful for the many individuals, churches, businesses and organizations that already invest in its schools and students. For those who would like to get involved, the opportunities are many, and getting started is easy.
