Description of Student Process
At the beginning of each semester, the Christian Service Department
holds a volunteer recruitment assembly. At the assembly, students
hear about the experiences of previous volunteers and agency directors.
They also are informed about the process of signing up to volunteer
through the Christian Service department. The following are the
steps involved in the sign-up process.
1. Initial Request Forms handed in: Initial Request forms provide
the moderators of the program with a tremendous amount of information
that assists them in placing a particular student at an agency.
2. Once the initial request forms are handed in, the student is
then placed at an agency.
3. Once students have been assigned to an agency, they have to
hand in a "Volunteer Program Release" form.

4. Students who have chosen to serve during school time also have to
hand in a "Volunteer Release-Time Contract" for each class they
miss. This form has to be filled out and signed by the appropriate teacher,
a parent, a Christian Service moderator, and the student. The student,
teacher and moderator each retain a copy. Students are respon- sible for
all the assignments and class work they miss.
5. Once the permission forms and contracts are handed in, the students
start to volunteer at their chosen agencies.
6. Students sign in and out at school and at their agencies on a weekly
basis.
7. During the semester, students are required to complete two reflection
sheets and attend two group reflection sessions.
8. At the end of the semester evaluations are completed by the agency
supervisors and returned to St. John's.
