Student Volunteers - United Way of Bay County

Students United

United Way of Bay County’s Volunteer Resource Center has a student high school volunteer club called Students United. This group of 9th-12th grade students meets at United Way once a month to plan community service activities. These activities join all the high school students in the area and target a specific project. Students United members get an opportunity to socialize while doing great things for Bay County. They have a retreat once a year and choose to do other projects like a coin drive, painting houses, help with the Animal Shelter open house and do yard maintenance at a local cemetery. All projects are decided by the youth and with the help of the Volunteer Resource Center, they get things done! Call Cindy at 893.6060 for more information.

A faculty member from each school acts as a main contact. If you are interested in more information regarding these projects or how you can get involved in Students United, please contact:

Awards
Volunteen Award
The Volunteen Award is given to a Bay County teen that has demonstrated strong volunteer efforts. The teen must have an active volunteer background by giving back to the community in which he or she lives. The award is presented at a meeting of the City Commission, and the teen receives an award certificate from the VRC and a Proclamation from the City of Bay City

Michigan Student Service Award
Michigan Student Service Award is a way of recognizing high school graduates who volunteer a significant number of hours to benefit their community through service and volunteerism during the course of their high school careers.

Over the course of their four years in high school, students complete and document a significant number of hours of non-paid community service. These activities must meet a recognized community need and be undertaken through non-profit organizations, government programs, community groups or schools in Bay County.

Students that meet a required amount of hours will receive a medallion of distinction to wear with the graduation cap and gown and a certificate for commitment to service from the Volunteer Resource Center. All Bay County area high schools are participating in the program. For more information please contact your high school counselor or the Volunteer Resource Center at 893.6060.

Michigan Student Service Award deadline for volunteer hours is May 1. If you have or know a high school student involved in volunteering please make sure they turn in their hours of service sheets to their high school counselor or the Volunteer Resource Center. The hours will be calculated and those meeting all criteria will receive a medallion of recognition upon graduation.
