VOLUNTEER SERVICE PROGRAM
Grades: 9, 10, 11, 12

All students at Valley Regional High School are eligible to earn academic credit for volunteer service if specific requirements are met. These include approval of the work site by the Volunteer Service Coordinator, attainment of certain goals and objectives, and the number of hours spent in volunteer work. The Volunteer Service Coordinator maintains a list of placements, monitors progress, and evaluates performance. Credit is awarded based on the total number of hours volunteered.
100 hours = .5 credit
200 hours = 1 credit
A student can earn up to two full credits in this program during the four years at VRHS. It should be noted that this service can be spread over one semester, one year, or longer, pending the approval of the Volunteer Service Coordinator and the administration.
Students interested in participating in volunteering should see Ms. Hambor in the Career Center for volunteer opportunities.
