Service Learning Opportunities
Service Learning Opportunities
What are Service Learning hours?
- Active, unpaid, participation in the community
- Conducted and designed to meet the needs of the community
- 30 hour graduation requirement starting with class of 2021
Volunteering is a valuable way for students to give back to their community, develop important skills, and build their resumes for college and future careers. There are many opportunities right here in the Clinton Community and throughout Rock County where your help is needed and appreciated. Students need to have the service learning contact sign the verification form with the date and hours of their service. Remember to submit your completed form to the student services office to ensure your hours are recorded. Get involved and make a positive impact!
