Community Service Program and Contract
One of the distinctive characteristics of people living in the United States is the conviction that each individual can make a difference through volunteer service. Many colleges now require community service involvement as criteria for acceptance. The Y.E.S. program provides opportunities for students to get involved with voluntary service at the local level to make a positive difference in their neighborhoods and communities.
Students who complete 100 hours (including up to 25 summer hours) of community service are recognized in the Clements Commencement Program under Awards and Scholarships, and awarded a Y.E.S. medal at Senior Awards Ceremony to wear at graduation. Participation is voluntary and students may not be paid for any service they perform. Hours must be fulfilled with non-profit organizations/agencies. Please review all the guidelines posted on the website for clarification.
To participate in the Clements Y.E.S. program, students need to sign and submit the contract below.
Volunteer hours are recorded using the “Community Service Documentation Form” or Y.E.S. Form. The form must be signed by 1) the representative of the organization/agency verifying the number of hours worked; 2) the student and 3) student’s parent/guardian.
Contract and Y.E.S forms are accepted at the Y.E.S. table during lunches on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students must make copies of all forms submitted. Both the original and the student copy are stamped, and the stamped copy is returned to the student for his/her records. Please note there is a 6 month time limit to submit hours.
The Clements Y.E.S. program guidelines, the Y.E.S Form and the contract (this letter) can be found on the Y.E.S. website http://www.chsyes.info/. Also available on the website are posting of volunteer opportunities and a query tool for students to monitor their volunteer hours.
We continue to be very excited about the Y.E.S. program and hope that you will choose to be a part of it. If you have any questions, please e-mail the Y.E.S. coordinators at clementsyes@gmail.com.
