Service Learning
Service-learning is an extremely important opportunity for each RHP and Renaissance student. Even in difficult times, it is important to give back and help those in the community. Unfortunately, due to the high-risk nature of service-learning, the Schools will not require students to complete any service learning hours for the 2020-2021 academic year.
Websites with non-contact and socially distant options: LAWorks.com, Teensgive.org, and Points of Light. Make sure to check the minimum age and if a parent must be present.
