Volunteer This Summer

One way students can help others and learn some valuable skills at the same time, is to volunteer time in service to school and community organizations.  Volunteer programs are common in many communities and service learning is an important component to the curriculum in many schools.  One of the objectives of the Central Square School District Strategic Plan is to have all students “voluntarily contribute to community on an ongoing basis.”  To encourage more of our students to volunteer, the Career Center coordinates volunteer service placements by maintaining contact with many local organizations that are in need of volunteer assistance.  Many of the volunteer opportunities are right in our local communities and some are located in the greater Syracuse area.  There are many different types of opportunities for students in grades 8-12 with varying time commitments.  High school students who provide volunteer service can qualify to earn the President’s Volunteer Service Award.  A description of this program is available in the Career Center . 

 

Below is a list of the organizations seeking volunteers.  Interested students are asked to stop in the Career Center for more information and assistance in contacting the volunteer coordinators in the schools and agencies listed:
