VIPS Falmouth High School Student Volunteer of the Month

For several years, Falmouth VIPS has featured a Student Volunteer of the Month at Falmouth High School. This program was started with a grant from the Falmouth Education Foundation to acknowledge and celebrate students who share their time with community and school causes. The only requirement is that students must log their hours with VIPS. Their is no minimum number of hours, but  past recipients have a variety of causes and activities on their list.
