Background and Philosophy Landmark Volunteers was founded in 1990 by a board of prominent educators and community leaders to provide teenagers, with their quickened sense of social conscience, an opportunity to enjoy the rewards of volunteer service and to meet the needs of the participating institutions. Program Offerings Volunteers serve in teams of 13 students under the full-time supervision of an adult team leader. In order to accomplish as much as possible, teams work six days during the first week and five days during the second week, with a day off in between for rest and recreation. They earn credit for 80 hours of community service. The purpose is to deliver maximum value to the host institution.
Landmark is a nonprofit organization that is made possible by the generosity of others.
Volunteer contributions only partially cover the cost of each student's service to their institution. This deposit is nonrefundable if the volunteer is accepted at one of his or her first six choices of location or accepts an alternative. Otherwise, it is returned. For a place to be held, the balance is due no later than May 1. All Rights Reserved.
