St. Joseph High School is the Volunteer Group of the Year!

At the 2014 Age of Excellence awards ceremony, The Volunteer Group of the Year Award was given to St. Joseph High School.  The qualification to be nominated for this award was a group that displayed an astounding amount of dedication and commitment to volunteerism in service to the elderly. The students at St. Joseph High School well deserve to be awarded with this impressive distinction.  They have had an enormous impact on their community through numerous volunteer service projects. 

St. Joseph High School has dedicated staff who work with their students to provide an opportunity for them to give back to their community while encouraging them to learn the honor and the joy of serving others.  Through the guidance of their Service Coordinator, the students have provided over one thousand hours of service to aged and disabled community members.  Last year alone, the homes of 66 seniors benefited from the hard work of these amazing young adults.

These days there are so many opportunities open to students and demands on their time.  Work, friends and family, sports, and of course their studies are all competing for their full attention.  However, these students consistently make it a priority to serve their community’s most vulnerable citizens. Working on service projects which assist the elderly since 2008, this group of over 300 teenagers have logged more than 8,000 hours of volunteer time.  All of their time and dedication makes them very deserving recipients of the 2014 Volunteer Group of the Year Award.
