Volunteering

Volunteering is a rewarding way to give back to others and to get connected to your community. Volunteering is encouraged for students in grades 8-12 as a means of building their capacities as citizens, collaborating with others on a kind and common goal, and gaining experience for your resumé and post-secondary/scholarship applications.

Volunteering is NOT a graduation requirement. 

To be considered for school-connected/vetted volunteering opportunities, students must attend a volunteering workshop. All attendees are added to the Volunteering Team, where they can access a digital hours tracking sheet and these exclusive volunteer opportunities (such as those through Community Schools).

QE hosts three volunteer workshops each year, from 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. in the Library. One happens in:

• September
• February
• May

Listen to the morning announcements and see the grade Teams for specific dates.

Students who choose not to attend a workshop but engage in their own external volunteer opportunities are still advised track their hours and retain them for up to five years.

Your volunteering contact person is Mrs. De Conti.
