Volunteer Cluster

Last week I started research on volunteerism as it relates to students in the Tumwater School District.  In summary;

 
Students are required to complete 30 hours of community service prior to graduation
 
They are allowed to do a wide variety of community service.  There are almost no limits on what qualifies as community service.
 
They are required to do an oral presentation to a panel outlining their community service experience
 
There is no volunteer fair or anything similar to show students what community service opportunities are available.  
 
Volunteerism completed by the student can be a key factor in submission to college selection.  
 
I think there may be great potential in researching this concept further; the idea of student volunteerism.  I am planning on meeting with career counselors at both Tumwater high schools and see what insight they can provide.
