Our Work

Vashon Schools Foundation (VSF) was founded on the belief that a strong school district makes a strong community with well equipped, empowered youth. We raise funds to invest in Vashon Island’s three schools, helping to sustain high quality education to meet our students needs today and into the future.

Founded in 2010, Vashon Schools Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that is independent of the Vashon Island School District and unaffiliated with any other island nonprofits. VSF activities are directed and implemented by volunteer board members who bring a diverse and an enriching skill set to the management of the organization.

Most recently, Vashon Schools Foundation has been working to connect with VHS alumni – a valuable resource for our current high school students wanting to get first hand information on possible careers and even job experience. Four VHS alumni currently serve on the VSF board.
