Volunteerism

At The Springstone School, we believe that transition is not something a student prepares for in their 12th-grade year, but that transition starts now.

Transition is an ongoing process and we want our students to have as much experience as possible in the community where they will live and will someday work in. Therefore, in addition to our Access Program, we emphasize community service and volunteerism.

Middle school students are provided with a number of volunteer hours throughout the year. Students are expected to complete 40 hours total outside of school.

Many hours are completed as part of our ACCESS program while at Springstone, but they are still required to seek out hours on their own. In some instances, volunteer jobs have become paid employment opportunities for our students while they are still attending high school.
