Volunteer Hours
Ontario has a requirement that all high school students must perform 40 hours of "community service" in order to graduate.
Some kids, who shall remain nameless, think this means that if you go and volunteer somewhere (ie. work for no pay), like, in a restaurant bussing tables, and get free meals, that it meets the requirement.
Other kids, like Zoe, have decided to research available opportunities in the community. She has decided to volunteer at a Seniors Nursing Home in our neighbourhood. We went for her interview last week and now she has to get a TB test and a Police Check done so she can volunteer there. She will probably work in the cafe and/or help with special activities.
Way to go Zoe!
