Students are required to complete 40 hours of community involvement as part of their graduation requirements.

Why has the Ministry of Education mandated it?

• Reinforces civic responsibility

• Strengthens the community

• Enhances one’s self-confidence and self-image

• Offers networking for future employment

• Provides an experience for students to include in their portfolios

If you go above and beyond in your volunteer work during high school, you can earn a Minister’s Certificate of Recognition for Community Involvement when you graduate. This new certificate celebrates your dedication to helping others and for completing more than 50 volunteer hours during high school.
