Milford Service Recognition Program Overview
The Milford Service Recognition Program benefits students and non-profit community partners. The program allows Milford to focus on creating a culture of MEANINGFUL service within the district. Students in grades 9-12, will be empowered to find and engage in worthwhile and relevant opportunities that directly relate to classroom curriculum, student interests, career endeavors, and topics important to the Milford community.
All hours, outside of the school day, that students volunteer for a 501c organization can be tracked over a student's school career. A service resume can be generated to help students market themselves to colleges and the job force. The district will also maintain a record of total Volunteer Hours that Milford students are giving back to the community each year. Tracking allows Milford to leverage the power of the large student body for the support of local non-profit organizations. Milford will partner to provide non-profits with student volunteers that have an authentic and meaningful connection to their cause. Tracking hours also allows Milford to recognize students with two levels of National Awards: The Jefferson Award and the President's Volunteer Service Award. The awards allow the district to celebrate students and helps to level the playing the field for students that may not excel with traditional academics or athletics.
Milford also encourages for Service Learning strategies to be incorporated into classroom environments. In the wise words of Martin Luther King, "The complete education gives one not only power of concentration, but worthy objectives upon which to concentrate."
Earn Nationally-Recognized Service Awards
When a student gives 20+ hours in one calendar year they will be recognized with The Jefferson Award.
