Volunteering
Volunteering is an excellent opportunity to learn outside of the classroom. Explore the many options to volunteer in your community by sharing your talents and/or possibly learning something new! Many organizations have ongoing programs. See links below for places to begin your search:
- Local area volunteer programs through the Town of Danville and the City of San Ramon!
- Many individual organizations look for student volunteers. Ask around!
- Volunteer Match, an online searchable database for local volunteer information and listings.
- Hospital volunteering. SRVHS works with John Muir and San Ramon Medical Volunteer coordinators to fill their high school volunteer positions as needed. Many other hospitals have varied volunteer programs and needs that change from year to year. Students should reach out directly to area hospitals to ask about their programs and how/when to apply.
