Job/Job Shadowing Requirement
In order to receive an Aspen Valley diploma all students are required to complete the Career Education course as well as a career exploration experience. Career exploration may include 180 hours of paid employment documented with pay stubs, documentation of paid or unpaid internship and/or job shadowing. The intent is to discipline students to the commitment of becoming self-sufficient while exploring career opportunities. At the conclusion of this requirement students should have a greater understanding of their employment commitment and/or their desired career field. Mentors and the school counselor will assist students in planning to meet this requirement.
Volunteer Service Requirement
Students are strongly encouraged to engage in regular volunteer activities (18 hours per year) to ensure they have met the 72 hour obligation well before graduation. The school counselor and Puma mentors can help students access volunteer opportunities. Documentation of all service learning activities must be submitted to the school counselor. Only work conducted with registered non-profit organizations may be counted toward volunteer hours.
