High School Volunteer Council Welcomes Oxford High School

Council members in action singing Christmas Carols at local nursing homes.

The High School Volunteer Council launched the 2008 - 2009 school year in November and is not taking off in their volunteer efforts. A kickoff breakfast was held at Valley United Way on November 3rd. Each month the meeting will be hosted by a Valley High School.

The mission of the High School Volunteer Council is to collectively work on community service projects that will meet the needs of the Valley.

The Goals are to provide the opportunity for high school students to interact with students from different Valley schools and to learn and practice leadership skills. Developing a wider knowledge of community needs is paramount.

Each year the Council implements at least one major volunteer project with a positive impact to the Valley as a whole.

The High School Volunteer Council is a unique model program which was created in November of 1995.
