SHS Volunteer Program

Welcome to Salem High School Volunteer Program. The Volunteer Program is designed to support the mission of Salem High School. As a volunteer, you are a member of the local community demonstrating that you wish to be of service to your community. It is our hope that Salem High School, through its Volunteer Program, will be able to provide enhanced quality services to its students. There will be various unique opportunities for parents, guardians and students to share their time and talents to make Salem High School a rewarding experience.

You will find the Volunteer Registration Form by downloading the form on the Volunteer Tab of the SHS web site. You will be contacted only when a need for your help arises and only for the specific items you have expressed interest in. During the past year the Volunteer Program organized a “Make A Difference Day” in October, and a spring “Clean Up Day” in April to open the courtyard area for staff and students, which had been closed for several years. We have also provided speakers for Sophomore Career Day, baked for monthly staff meetings and assisted staff with mailings and projects.

The President’s Volunteer Service Award was created to recognize the tens of millions of Americans who have made a sustained commitment to volunteer service. The Award is given to individuals; families and groups that have demonstrated outstanding volunteer service and civic participation over the course of a twelve-month period. A Gold Award is given for 250 volunteer hours, Silver Award for 175-249 hours and Bronze Award for 100-174 hours over a twelve-month period. These awards reflect a great achievement on a student’s permanent record and may be used for college applications and job resumes.

Many people volunteer as their children go through the school system and have contributed time to Salem High. It is our hope to incorporate existing volunteer efforts along with new faces with talents to share. We invite you to be a part of Salem High School’s Volunteer Program in whatever capacity fits your schedule.
