Graduation Requirement
Community service is a core graduation requirement at Western Sierra, designed to foster personal and civic responsibility.
Students are encouraged to view service not just as a task to complete, but as an opportunity to explore careers, develop interests, and gain job skills.
Whether helping those in need, improving the community, or volunteering at a non-profit, make your service hours impactful.
If you have any questions about processes or opportunities,
