Volunteer Community Involvement

All Ontario students require 40 hours of volunteer community involvement hours to graduate with the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).

The YRDSB community hours form is the official record of activities and can be submitted to the Guidance Department.

Opportunities for volunteer hours should be pre-approved by your guidance counsellor. Eligible activities are outlined on the second page of the community hours form and should be earned at a not-for-profit or charitable organization. A full list of eligible activities can also be found on this YRDSB page.

Once you have completed the form and both your community partner and a parent/guardian have signed it, please drop it off at the Guidance Office.

For more detailed information, please visit the YRDSB's page on community involvement.
