The success of the service visit is very much dependent upon the chaperones. For that reason, we are opening the service visit application only for the chaperones first and will open it for students after this is filled. If you have a child/children you would like to apply for the service visit, you can mention their names in the “Volunteering Activities”. They will have to submit a full application separately when it becomes available and should meet all the qualifications. However, preference will be given to the chaperone’s children.
