Course Credit
Each student attending Leadership Camp will receive one high school credit for attending the summer workshop. Attendees will also be eligible to receive a second credit during the school year after completing ongoing service and training.
Earn a Second Course Credit!
All students who participate in the 2012 Summer Student Leadership Camp have the option of gaining a second credit during the 2012-13 school year. Any student interested in attaining the second credit will be required to fulfill a minimum number of volunteer hours. Students must acquire a minimum of at least 40 volunteer or community service hours.
Students will have a number of opportunities to accumulate hours throughout the school year. Each small group will be setting up a vision-based service project to be completed before the end of the academic year.

All hours put into that project will count towards the second credit. While we will encourage all students seeking the second credit to participate in these events, we also recognize that there may be conflicts with sports and other activities. In order to make acquiring volunteer hours accessible for all students, we have created the attached form to be used with ANY and ALL volunteer or service related projects.
Any student who participates in a volunteer or community service activity can claim those hours of participation towards their second credit. Pete Yelle, of SLP Community Services, has agreed to sign off on any of the Leo Club activities offered throughout the year. In addition, students may work with a peer or in their small groups to create their own volunteer experiences. (An example of this might be developing a welcoming experience for new students on their first day of school.) Other students may participate in community events such as highway clean up, distributing food at a soup kitchen, or bell ringing for the Salvation Army.
Additional forms will be available through Jennifer Bobbe or your group leaders. All completed paperwork must be turned into Jennifer Bobbe and files will be kept for each student participating. We will track your hours and keep records of your volunteer experiences. Once you reach 40 hours, your forms will be turned in the Learning Alternatives main office and your second credit will be granted.
Thank you and good luck with your volunteering and service-related projects!
