Application for Volunteer postings

Applications for volunteer agency listings will be reviewed twice a year. Submission of an application does not guarantee placement on the Durham District School Board (DDSB) website. Priority may be given to opportunities that require a significant number of volunteers and those that offer multiple opportunities throughout the calendar year. The DDSB does not endorse any agencies currently listed on the DDSB website.

Agencies are encouraged to contact their local high school directly to explore student volunteer opportunities that align with their geographical area.

Volunteer hours spent in the community are meant to encourage students to:

• Develop an awareness and understanding of civic responsibility

• Understand the role they play and contributions they can make to support and strengthen the community

• Learn more about themselves and possible career opportunities

Visit the Community Involvement webpage for information on the 40 hours required for a student to graduate with the Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

Community activities must:

• be completed outside scheduled class time
• not be a part of a credit course
• be unpaid
• be completed by the end of grade 12
