Service-Learning Program

Clapp's Nursing Center is a proud participant of Guilford County's High School Student's Service-Learning Program.  Through this program students have the opportunity to receive a Service-Learning Diploma and Exemplary Award.  Student's participate in five components: investigation, preparation & planning, action, reflection and demonstration.  This program extends beyond volunteer service of a few hours or that which is needed to complete a senior project.  Through this program students begin volunteering as early as ninth grade and have the opportunity to volunteer at several Service-Learning Program Providers to gain a variety of experiences while developing their skills and character.  The relationship the student develops with the service learning provider is one of a mentorship.  The volunteer hours can be used when applying for college.
The Service-Learning Program is a relatively new program which is being promoted in high schools.  Students are required to complete a Service-Learning Application.  To request a handbook or for more information contact: Yvonne Eason, Coordinator of Character Development and Service Learning at 370-2330.
Participants are required to complete Clapp's volunteer orientation, pass a TB test, volunteer when activity staff are scheduled, be at least 13 years old and volunteer with the activity department only.
