Attention students needing to accumulate community involvement hours. Brantwood is currently looking for volunteers at their school events, fundraising events, and programs, among other things.

Students are reminded to ensure that the community hours they accumulate are eligible according to Ministry guidelines. Hours should be for non-profit organizations and not duties that someone would normally be paid for. Hours cannot be accumulated during school hours.

The community involvement hours forms are available on the black shelving unit in Student Services and they include information on the back about eligible and ineligible activities.
