At Clairemont High School We work with the USS Midway on the Project Save. CHS along with the USS Midway Education Department partner to tell the stories of the volunteers aboard the USS Midway. From what comels them to volunteer to what challenges has each volunteer overcome to get where they are in life at this moment.
Taking multiple Field Trips over the course of the semester, students get the chance to meet and tour the ship with their specific volunteer. They listen as the volunteer talks about how each volunteer works aboard the USS Midway, lessons learned in life and the ship itself.
This is a video of the interviews from the volunteers and some of the life challenges that pushed them to where they are today.
Here is the story of what compels a volunteer to do what they do.
