Requirements and Guidelines

1. Unless otherwise noted, WP will not show on a student’s schedule.  Instead, credits will show on the student transcript upon the completion of the requisite hours.  
2. Hours must be verifiable (pay stub/payroll website/W2).  Under-the-table positions are not allowed for this program.
3. Host sites must cover student workers with Worker’s Compensation Insurance.
4. Partial credit will not be awarded.
5. This is a Pass/No Pass ELECTIVE COURSE and credits WILL count toward athletic/activity eligibility (in terms of the credits needed to be making “satisfactory progress towards graduation”) and school enrollment.
6. Students should not submit original copies of anything. Personal information should be blacked out.  Nothing will be returned; all materials will be shredded. In the event that there are any discrepancies, students are expected to keep copies of all materials, papers, etc. submitted to the director of this program.  
7. Students and parents are encouraged to monitor work hours, labor laws, and employment safety.   Neither the Centennial School District nor its employees will be responsible for monitoring work safety, end-of-day release times, etc. All transportation to/from the student's place of employment is the sole responsibility of the student/parent.  Centennial High School does not have any responsibility or liability for student transportation or employment hazards associated with the WP program.
8. This program IS NOT part of the .5 CAREER CREDIT requirement at CHS, nor is it to be considered a “job shadow.”
9. As a general rule, hours must be performed at the same company/business.  Variations to this rule must be pre-approved by the program director.
10. Students may earn VP/WP credit during summer breaks, holiday breaks, weekends, and so on.

Volunteer Partnership (VP) – Non-Paid
Requirements and Guidelines

1. Unless otherwise noted, VP will not show on a student’s schedule.  Instead, credits will show on the student transcript upon the completion of the requisite hours.  
2. Volunteer Partnership plans will only be approved for partnerships with legitimate enterprises or institutions; the determining factor will be, “Does Company X provide Worker Compensation Insurance?”
   1. Raking leaves for “Grandma” would not qualify, nor would “baby sitting” one’s little sister.  Counseling at a summer camp or Outdoor School, or teaching Sunday School could qualify.  
3. It is the student’s responsibility to show volunteer documentation. Ms. Vanderpool will not chase verification.
4. Volunteer supervisor email address is required for student credit.  All legitimate volunteer opportunities have legitimate, verifiable email addresses.
5. This is a Pass/No Pass ELECTIVE COURSE and credits WILL count toward athletic/activity eligibility (in terms of the credits needed to be making “satisfactory progress towards graduation”) and school enrollment.
6. Students and parents are encouraged to monitor volunteer hours and placement safety.   Neither the Centennial School District nor its employees will be responsible for monitoring off-campus safety, end-of-day release times, etc. All transportation to/from the student's place of volunteer is the sole responsibility of the student/parent.  Centennial High School does not have any responsibility or liability for student transportation or employment hazards associated with the VP program.
