In the Spring of 2022, we were able to partner with various organizations and engage in group service. Thanks to Daily Acts, Circuit Rider, Redwood Forest Foundation, Jenner Headlands Preserve, Sonoma Ecology Center, the City of Santa Rosa and LandPaths, our Juniors engaged in meaningful group activities such as invasive species removal, compost giveaways, installation of drip irrigation and redwood forest management. We look forward to working with these partners in the future!
Senior Service Futures Program

For roughly two weeks in the Spring, Seniors experience what it's like to live away from home while giving their time to others. This requirement provides an important step to build the confidence needed to break out on one's own in the future, whether it be college, a gap year, trade school or travel. Students have the chance to give back to their community while exploring something they might be interested in pursuing as a future endeavor.
Over the years, Credo has evolved this requirement:
where it used to be a solo endeavor, students may now give service in their community, with community, whether it be alone or with two or more friends.
where it used to be that students were expected to find a placement far from home, now a placement within our local area is highly encouraged. We believe that giving to your community locally is one of the highest virtues.
We endeavor to help support you in your placement, and will provide various opportunities to work with one of many organizations that we have built up relationship with over the years.
