Welcome to Ridgeline's Service Board!

        -Here on the main page we have information about Lettering in Service as well as some helpful links to find service opportunities locally as well as state-wide.

        -Click on the blue links along the top to navigate to our other pages. We have pages for both One Time Volunteering as well as Ongoing Volunteering. The last link will download the tracking sheet for volunteer hours.

Why Volunteer? 

High school students that volunteer are less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol, more likely to perform well in school, and have better overall mental health  (Eccles & Barber, 1999). Volunteering is also fun and a great way to interact with your community!
