East Mountain High School asks all families who choose to enroll their child or children at EMHS to volunteer a total of 60 hours per year. The requirement is per family, not per child.

Anything that you do in support of East Mountain High School counts towards your volunteer requirement. Parents have recorded volunteer hours for activities such as driving a carpool, chaperoning a field trip, attending a Senior Exhibition presentation, attending PACK or Governing Council meetings, helping with mailings or in the Front Office, assisting with fundraisers or events or attending any school athletic events or concerts.

You can log your parent volunteer hours online. Simply click the link below and submit your hours. All families will receive a letter at the end of the school year thanking them for their donations and volunteer hours and alerting them if they did not achieve their goal of reaching 60 hours. Volunteer hours can be carried over from year to year. https://www.helpcounterweb.com/ci/volunteer

East Mountain High School understands that volunteering during the school day may not be convenient for all families. There are many evening and weekend opportunities to volunteer or even ways you can volunteer from home! Also, some families choose to meet the volunteer requirement by making a cash donation or a donation of supplies, equipment or services to the school. For example, if you work for a landscaping company, you could help us get donated landscaping services. If you choose to make a cash donation in lieu of volunteer hours, the value of your donation is computed $10.00 per hour.

Driving only your own child to school doesn’t count towards the volunteer requirement. Also, volunteering you may do for other worthy organizations (Boys Scouts, Humane Society, fire department, etc.) does not count towards your requirement to benefit East Mountain High School.

Yes, any parent volunteer hours accrued in a school year over and above the 60 hour requirement will carry over to the next school year.
