With the summer holidays just about here, the last thing most students are thinking about is school. However the Rainbow board wants high school students and those in Grade 8 to do some volunteering over the summer. High school students need 40 hours of community service as part of their graduation requirements. The board says if Grade 8 students can squeeze in 10 hours of volunteer work over the summer, it gives them a head start on the graduation condition. Rainbow says when students volunteer, they not only strengthen their community but they might also get some valuable work experience.
