Hello Everyone!
As part of the California Scholarship Federation’s mission to recognize academic excellence and exceptional community service, CSF finds volunteer opportunities for students! Please consider signing up to serve your community. 10 hours a semester will count towards the four qualifying semesters needed to be an Active Life Member to CSF! You must get your volunteer hours before the end of the semester (December 18th) in order for your hours to qualify on next year's Spring Application. Volunteering has countless benefits as well; examples include participating in fun activities, getting to know people throughout San Diego, and helping others in heartwarming and fulfilling experiences. Keep checking our website for even more opportunities, which will be updated every month around the first Monday!
If you would like to find more volunteer opportunities, check out websites such as Surfrider, KOZ Events, Idealist, Produce Good, the San Diego Humane Society, HandsOn San Diego, Ronald McDonald House, Feeding San Diego, Live Well San Diego, SD Parks, JustServe, and more! You can find opportunities that suit your schedule and interests. Be sure to check back here and on the “Class Of” CSF Google Classrooms for announcements.
*A reminder that these acitivities are not sponsored nor affiliated with our SRHS CSF Club nor Scripps Ranch High School. Students attend these on their own accord.
