Volunteers Welcome

East Hampton High School has invited community organizations needing student volunteers this summer to let the school know what kind of work is available. The school will post the information on its website for students and their parents to see.

Organizations should send their requirements, including dates, times, and contact information, to Debbie Mansir, the high school’s program coordinator, at [email protected].

Students must complete at least 30 hours of community service in order to graduate, but Ms. Mansir said there were many benefits for both students and their employers beyond the requirement. “I think the most important aspect is how it affects the individual student in terms of confidence, a sense of accomplishment, a feeling of fulfillment,” she said in an email. “In some cases, it can dramatically change the direction of a young person’s life.”
