Below is a list of Westfield Honor Societies that require volunteer hours. It is hoped that, by compiling a list in one place, parents and students can plan ahead for and encourage volunteer activities. Please note that these are the guidlines and may be subject to change. It is suggested that students seek the counsel of their club/society/faculty advisor prior to engaging in an activity for which they seek "credit". It is also advised to have a non-related adult supervisor sign off on the activity. Students should maintain a copy of vertification for their own records, as it will be required by the society/club. Some groups have their own forms.
