Volunteering

Finding opportunities to be of service to others is great for many reasons.  I love watching high school students take on leadership roles.  Being able to share of yourself and your insight and talents makes a positive difference.  Plus, it is never a bad thing for your college applications...

There are 2 great volunteering opportunities that have been promoted at school recently and I want to make sure you realize that these are great chances that you can help contribute by volunteering your time to help others.

1. Link Leaders: every fall, when the freshmen students are coming to WKHS for the first time, it is the responsibility of the Link Leaders to help make that transition easier.  Their tasks often include phone calls of support before the first day, help with tours of the building on freshman schedule pick up day, and tons of fun activities on the freshmen class first day of high school.  If you are interested in signing up, use the QR code on the posters around the school to fill out an application.

2. i Can Bike: The Down Syndrome Association of Central Ohio hosts this camp each year at WKHS and it is a huge hit for the students who learn to ride a bike and for the high school volunteers who help to make such an impact on the lives of others.  This year the camp will be June 20-24th.  Students must be 15 years old in order to participate.  Here is a link to the page where you can learn more about the camp and sign up to Volunteer.

There are plenty of other volunteer opportunities in the community.  Anywhere that someone is needing support and you have the skills to help, you can make a difference!  I hope you will seek out meaningful opportunities to contribute.
