In addition to group service learning projects that are coordinated by our school, we encourage all students to get involved in their local communities by volunteering. Students can volunteer at a large variety of local, non-profit organizations. A bulletin board in the Student Center has current information regarding organizations requesting local volunteers. For more information, go to www.volunteermatch.org to find organizations in need of volunteers.

If you are considering a long-term volunteer option, such as for the summer or a couple of years, we suggest contacting one of the following organizations.  If you need assistance, feel free to contact Darlene Fritz at dfritz@westernmennoniteschool.org or Eric Ivanitsky at eivanitsky@westernmennoniteschool.org.
