\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Voorhees will introduce a voluntary community service program which will allow students to find service opportunities, sign up for those activities, receive notices, set and track progress for personal service goals, and reflect on their experiences.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The new program will be named X2VOL, and Mike Squarcia, Director of Guidance Services, states that \u201cIt allows students to easily develop service resumes which can be used in the college process.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Students will be able to print a report of their service hours which can be used when applying for scholarships, honors programs, or colleges. X2VOL is being newly introduced to Voorhees, although it is not new to all schools. Plenty of schools around the country have had success with this program along with its results. X2VOL is a user friendly program easy for even your average grandma to use! This program is also available in the Apple Store or Android Market on your mobile device for quick and easy access.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Community service is essential to any students\u2019 academic career, as Squarcia acknowledges, \u201cit will help them develop into socially responsible citizens\u201d and it also \u201cprovides students with opportunities to apply skills and knowledge learned in school to real human needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Out of Harrisonburg Virginia, James Madison University states that \u201cGiving up your time to improve others\u2019 lives is rewarding, humbling, and a distinctive learning experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Here at Voorhees High School, our students\u2019 perspectives vary, although many ritually volunteer in community service, there are almost as many that do not. Those students including one in particular, Zach Ogorzalek, a freshman from Voorhees, is \u201cToo busy in academics and sports\u201d to volunteer for community service, although these students all have aspirations of volunteering in the future.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Differing from others, a senior from Voorhees, Matt Suchovich, has combined his liking of sports with his community service work. Matt volunteered to coach the Hunterdon Hawks, a junior track team for those in kindergarten to eighth grade to participate in. Matt has recently found out about Voorhees\u2019 new program and claims that \u201cit would definitely help those looking for community service.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Opportunities like Matt\u2019s and more can easily be found in our X2VOL program. X2VOL will allow students to find any opportunities of their liking which helps to enhance the community service experience.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0X2VOL can be joined today, and many will find that this program is a handy helper when getting involved in any community service. Voorhees encourages you students to join X2VOL, for it will better your service experience!<\/p>\n
