Student Service Learning (SSL)

Hellow Kingsview Community,

Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! My name is Kihara Dorsey-Gopinathan, and I am the SSL Coordinator for Kingsview Middle School. Below, you'll find a link for the MCPS SSL Hub, which has a plethora of information about the MCPS SSL program. Here is the direct link to the hub: https://bit.ly/SSLHubMCPS.

To make your SSL experience easier to navigate, I have included some of the most widely used links that you can use to access SSL opportunities and forms:
