SerVermont is a volunteer program for high school students. The program stresses public service in the community and is intended to teach students the value of personal volunteer service to their local communities. During SerVermont's second year of operation, 15 high schools were awarded minigrants ($200 if one teacher was involved, $300 if more than one teacher was involved) to be used in developing programs combining in-class academic study and student involvement in community service. SerVermont also sponsored a program in which teams of eight high school-aged campers and two college-aged leaders worked together to help a single farmer for a concentrated five-day week. A series of teacher workshops was held to solicit ideas on ways in which high school students could serve their local communities, and SerVermont's coordinator spoke at several conferences throughout the state to explain the program and discover ways of expanding it. There has been considerable interest in developing programs in which high school students provide various services to senior citizens as well as in programs which involve both high school students and senior citizens. SerVermont is also considering starting a program of awarding grants to schools to offer all-night alcohol-free parties for graduating seniors throughout the state.
