Community Service - 40 hours

Students entering grade 9 must complete 40 hours of volunteer work as one of the ministry requirements for their high school diploma. The aim is to encourage students to become actively involved in making positive contributions to their community. You are encouraged to complete the 40 hours of community involvement as early as possible, ideally by the end of grade 10.- Ministry guidelines have established eligible and ineligible activities for the community involvement requirement. Students and parents must follow these guidelines. Contact Volunteer MBC, a volunteer centre that promotes volunteering within Peel region and offers a volunteer referral service for all ages. Phone: 905-238-2622 or visit www.volunteermbc.org.

Contact Volunteering Peel, a student-run organization that works with community groups and event organizers to provide volunteers where needed.
For additional ideas on where you could earn your 40 hours, check out the PDSB volunteer job board .
Also, look through the community service binder that is located in the Student Services office.
