The
High School and Beyond Plan requires that students complete 20 hours of community service OR job shadowing OR working with a mentor in order to graduate. Students may begin earning and documenting these hours during 9th grade. Students may complete up to 10 hours of community service by working for a River Ridge staff member during non-school hours or by supporting a school team or at a school-sponsored event. Students must coordinate directly with that staff member and complete the Community Involvement Documentation Form.
Students are encouraged to find a volunteer activity that they like, and continue past 20 hours. When they are seniors applying for college scholarships, they will have extensive experience and document the many hours they volunteered. PLUS, volunteering makes you feel good!
