    Earlier this year, I had a grade 9 student (a daughter of a friend of mine) come to my house from 9-11am to help with the kids snacks, walks, and lunch prep.
    She was able to use it towards her high school volunteer hours (Mandatory in Ontario).
    I simply filled out her sheet and how many hours she helped out for. Its a win win for us, so why not?
    You could always advertise on Kijiji directing your ad towards highschool students looking to complete community service hours.

    This is an awesome option and the first thing I had thought of myself when wanting some 'help' in the summer for field trips cause we had kids doing this in the daycare centres in the summers .... but my stepsons school would not allow this for counting towards his volunteer hours

    His volunteer hours according to his board have to be for a 'non profit' organization not to mention a whack load of other restrictions ... really limits their options for sure!
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."

    I thought about this - but it's summer. I highly doubt any kids are looking to do their hours during the summer - but I did put an ad up on kijiji. Here's hoping!
