Before you can graduate from Secondary School, every student must complete at least 40 hours of community involvement. This means helping out in your community by being a volunteer. A volunteer is a person who performs a service without asking for anything in return. Some of the benefits of community involvement are:
· to gain practical experience in a work environment
· to help out your community
· to learn new skills
You can complete these hours at any time during your secondary school experience but it is important not to leave it until the last minute. You may try to start early (maybe during grade 9 or 10) or spread out the required hours throughout your years in secondary school. This will ensure that you are not rushing to complete the community involvement requirement during your final year.
