COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT INFORMATION

Students needing to report your community service hours, please use the appropriate CLASS OF Google form posted below.  Guidance needs to manually transfer your hour submissions into our record system, so please be aware there will be delays in displaying your completed hours in MyBlueprint.

Why Volunteer?

  • It feels good to get involved in your community.
  • You meet other people (network).
  • You gain new skills and experiences.
  • You need 40 hours to graduate from high school.
  • Your volunteer experience may help you when applying for jobs, scholarships and/or competitive post-secondary programs (particularly if you complete far more than the required 40 hours).

NEW FOR 2025 – Minister’s Certificate of Recognition for Community Involvement

Starting with the graduating Class of 2026, if students go above and beyond in their volunteer work during high school, they can earn a Minister’s Certificate of Recognition for Community Involvement when they graduate. This new certificate celebrates students’ dedication to helping others and for completing more than 50 volunteer hours during high school.  Monitor your CLASS OF Google Classroom for more information!
