Our story

It started with a magazine.

VIP305 began in 2013 as a community magazine founded by Yessika Siles. What started as a way to remain connected to her son's high school experience gradually evolved as students expressed interest in becoming more involved in meaningful community service.

In 2017, Very Important Purpose Corp. was incorporated as a nonprofit organization. In 2019, VIP began its annual Summer Camp Service Project, an immersive experience that combines service, leadership, teamwork, and personal development.

Today, VIP305 connects students with meaningful service opportunities throughout Miami-Dade County and collaborates with schools, businesses, and community organizations.
