Useful Information At this time of the year, the amount of opportunities within the community tend to be harder to find Service is not limited to outside the school, you can do service within the school too! Examples: help a teacher during your study hall, in the mornings, on a teacher work day, etc. You can also do service within your own home/neighborhood! Examples: helping out a neighbor, donating your time to help others, reading to children at the library, etc. Remember: If you are passionate about something, don’t hesitate to talk to any of the officers or Mrs. P about finding short/long term opportunities. Examples: interning at a clinic, special Olympics coach, etc. If Advisories begin to ask for or assign leaders you can earn hours this way as well Imagine with this cold weather how many people in the community may be struggling to have warm clothes, food, etc. making a difference can come in the smallest packages.
