Junior Volunteer Firefighter Receives Recognition – Cody Levis

The Indian River Volunteer Fire Company is pleased to identify that another volunteer firefighter and high school student from Sussex Central High School has fulfilled the eligibility requirements for an addition elective credit towards graduation upon completing 90 hours or more of community service.

Established by the Delaware General Assembly in 1998 this programs allows students through grades 9-12 to earn 1 elective credit on their high school transcript.

The volunteer hours completed as part of the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company or any service group may also be used towards this Delaware Volunteer Credit Program. This volunteer activity cannot be political or advocacy in nature and must be performed at a non-profit agency in Delaware.  Volunteer Service Credits must be approved by the State Office of Volunteerism.

The Indian River Volunteer Fire Company is proud to recognize Cody Levis for his completion of this initiative and has earned well above the 90 clock hours performing various chosen civic duties.

Cody Levis will graduate high school in June 2014 and aspired to attend Delaware Technical & Community College to earn a degree in fire science. Cody also aspires to earn his Emergency Medical Technician certification.

Congratulations are offered to Cody Levis for his professional diligence and civic commitment.
