Community Volunteer Service Hours

Image
The Fairport Harbor Community has a long history of supporting Fairport Harbor Schools with financial, staff and student support.
Fairport Harbor Schools supports it's community in many ways and one out reach is the Community Service Volunteer Hours.
Fairport Students in grades 9-12 are required to provide 15 hours of community service per year they attend FHEVS, so a student that has attended FHEVS for 4 years will have donated 60 hours of service to the community.
The hope is our students:
         "Discover the value of service to others"
         "Experience the impact it has on one's surroundings by contributing to the betterment of those surroundings."
         "Are Motivated to develop/engineer/actualize projects in an area of interest."
A Volunteer Service Hour(s) is a supervised/coordinated period of time given free of monetary charge then validated with a timesheet signed by the supervisor/coordinator with a task description, date of service, start and end time, location of service and valid phone number, or email address.  The service can be as informal as raking leaves for an elderly person, walking a neighbor's dog, and as formal as volunteering for non-profits, churches, schools, homeless shelters, youth groups, and senior centers.
