What is Volunteer For Good?
Volunteer for Good is Utah’s statewide initiative that engages high school students in meaningful community service.

- Build social connections
- Support mental well‑being
Get recognition for the work you do! Students can earn a certificate, graduation cord, and a medallion.
What Counts as Service/Volunteering?
Anything that you do that gives back to the community and you are NOT paid for it.
There are so many things that count as volunteering, you probably are doing something already.
Volunteering can be done anywhere (locally), it does not need to be done at school.
