Volunteer Opportunities for Students
Becoming an active and responsible citizen is one of the goals schools have for their students. Developing citizenship takes purposeful work. Students are highly encouraged to take leadership roles on the school campus by being involved in the many opportunities available to improve their school community. Our goal is to create active members of our community. This page includes volunteer service opportunities outside the school.
