Community Service Opportunities
Community service is a way for many people, particularly the young to regain a sense of pride and dignity that comes from helping others. The Martha's Vineyard Regional High School Community Service Program has for many years provided students with the opportunity to involve themselves in a variety of enriching, useful and practical experiences which serve the school and community.
Through community service, students can learn new skills, assume responsibilities, become aware of the needs of others, and learn the importance of unselfish serving and giving. Community service links students to the wider community and exposes them to people and situations outside their previous experiences.
Listed below are several community organizations that have worked with school officials to help students who want to help their community through voluntary service.
This page has been created for students of MVRHS looking for opportunities to volunteer their time with local non-profit organizations, as well as for students that need to complete requirements of community service hours for organizations such as the National Honors Society.
Here are some local organizations that are always looking for volunteers, please feel free to contact them and ask for the contact (if included) that is specified on this list.
