Volunteering at RMC

On-site high school students are required to complete 30 hours of volunteer service per academic year. Students serve the community in a variety of ways and in collaboration with many local organizations. 

Our commitment to outstanding citizenship and community service is a tradition that builds from the early years of our program. Throughout their years at RMC, students participate in individual, small group, and school-wide volunteer opportunities that foster collaboration, leadership, generosity, and personal responsibility. Partnering with local organizations such as the Mountain Home Public Library and local food pantries, our students build connections that last well beyond their time at Richard McKenna.

If you are a high school student who needs to complete your 30 hours of community service, please consider working with the following organizations:

• Desert Mountain Visitor’s Center
• Mountain Home Arts Council
• Mountain Home Museum
• Mountain Home Public Library
• Mountain Home Senior Center
• The Backpack Bridge

Parents, we welcome you to observe your child in the classroom, join us on field trips, and help organize school events or fundraisers. Please check in at the front office before and after you visit.

If you would like to volunteer in one of our classrooms on a regular basis, you will need to complete a state background check and pay any associate fees. Please visit the Idaho Department of Education website or contact us for more information.
