Volunteer Hours & Opportunities
Please note: Volunteer hours are not a graduation requirement.
Loudoun County Public Schools does not require high school students to volunteer. To encourage our students to give back, Rock Ridge High School recognizes those who do volunteer.
The Volunteer "log" for the 2023-2024 School Year is now open. LCPS is now using SchooLinks, which allows students to enter their hours under "Experience Tracker". Here is the How-To Form for entering Volunteer Hours in SchooLinks. Students must go through LCPS GO to access SchooLinks. Parent access to SchooLinks will not allow student volunteer (Experience Tracker) entries.

There is a new program that offers students (ages 12-18) volunteering opportunities, leadership skills and the opportunity to grow relationships with the elderly and disabled in our community.
Our Student Caregiver program is being offered to public, private and home-schooled children ages 12-18 and enables students to volunteer in (a) group projects and (b) teams of 2 to 4 students with one vetted and trained adult volunteer (usually a parent or a teacher). These SC teams are then set up with either an individual care receiver who is seeking supportive services from LVC. Services may include: shopping, walking, playing games, light housekeeping, reading, or yard work. Please feel free to contact me with questions, to set up a time for me to stop by and discuss this new volunteering program, or for any other information.
