Student Volunteers
How old do I need to be to volunteer at the Society?
Students 14 or older are encouraged to volunteer at the Society. They
are required to provide a one year commitment, contribute 25 or more hours
and volunteer at their scheduled time. The Society looks for student volunteers
who enjoy working with people, are friendly, enjoy learning new things
and would like to increase their job skills. Many use this experience
to help prepare them for college or further education.
There are activities especially designed for student volunteers.
Students
can participate in the Groundhog Job Shadow Day. By sharing your
time as a volunteer, you can request letters of reference for college
and job applications which can help prepare you for your future career.
A volunteer experience can provide you with a sneak preview of a variety of jobs available in many different fields. Most of all, by volunteering you can meet new people, make a difference in your community and have fun.
