BUHS believes that community service is a worthwhile and rewarding experience for all high school students. It strengthens our community and contributes to personal growth. A BUHS graduate meets the Vermont civic and social responsibility standard 4.1 by performing community service. We have, therefore, a graduation requirement of 40 HOURS of community service. A student may begin accumulating hours to meet this requirement during the summer immediately preceding 9th grade. For students who transfer to BUHS after 9th grade, the requirement is prorated to five hours per semester.
Service hours must be documented on the BUHS Community Service Form, found in all house offices, online in the Forms and Applications section of this website or in the Counseling Office. If a student is absent from school, they cannot accrue community service hours. Work done during the summer must be filed by September 30th of the same year. Work done during the school year must be filed by June 1st. Here are some of our local community organizations that are looking for volunteers: Boys & Girls Club United Way of Windham County Putney Food Shelf Vernon Rec Department Brattleboro Rec Department Youth Services Snow Sports |
