How to find community service opportunities
How to find community service opportunities
A part of our COA mission is to give community outreach opportunities to students, but also to work to teach our peers how to find their own volunteer work.
Attend group meetings
Through a mixture of in-school group meetings, our leaders hope to teach you how to find organizations you can serve well based on your skill set. Go to the meetings, ask questions, and feel free to reach out to one of the leaders for guidance on finding volunteer work!
Do your research
A big part of community outreach is actually finding the service opportunities and sometimes that takes longer than the actual volunteering itself. Now, I do not recommend recklessly searching the internet for opportunities, but I have some websites that I do find very helpful (I use them personally).

Stay informed
As a club, we hope to offer multiple communication options so that many students, organizations, and even parents can know what we're doing!
a. A good start is checking out our Calendar Section of this website to see what we have planned for meetings, volunteer opportunities, deadlines, etc.
b. Join our GroupMe (for Bloomington South High School Students only)! Our GroupMe is the main way we communicate when we are meeting, meeting notes, and volunteer opportunities. To join, scan the QR code on your mobile device below or ask a leader to add you!
c. Check out our social media! Follow us on Instagram @bhsscoa to see photos from our events and reminders of meetings.
Consistent Volunteer Opportunities
Consistent Volunteer Opportunities
A partnership with a local organization to create consistent volunteer work is a great way to build community service hours. This could range anywhere from volunteering at the animal shelter to working at a food kitchen. If incorporating this into your schedule interests you, then feel free to reach out to Adrianna Waterford at 812-345-6944 or adriannawaterford@gmail.com. She can help connect you to the right organization to work alongside based on your interests.

How to donate: Tap on this link Amazon Registry Item Link
Winter drive: Support Team Rubicon with COA as we continue to purchase winter clothing items through an amazon registry to send directly to the Camp Atterbury
Deadline: November 19th
How to Spread the word: With a simple text message including the amazon link, you can help the Afghan families have warm clothes and necessities this winter. Even if you are not planning on purchasing items from the registry, as a member of COA, it is encouraged to send the link to friends, peers, family members, etc to Spread the word!
More Information: Team Rubicon is in coordination with the Department of Defense and other organizations to meet the humanitarian needs unfolding. The relocation of Afghan families into communities across the United States creates an opportunity for each of us to stand up and assist people in need. Fortunately, we camp a relocation community here in the state of Indiana. I encourage all of you to help support these families with the given opportunities/resources at COA and elsewhere during this difficult time.
Any support or items purchased is incredibly appreciated, no matter how big or small!

About the organization:
Pantry 279 was conceived, built, and run by 10 Girl Scouts from troop 69-279 as their Silver Award Project. The girls, ranging between ages 11 – 13 at the time, wanted to build a food pantry to help their friends at school who were only getting food while at school, due to a family crisis.

Where: Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be located in the Community Building at the Monroe County Fair Grounds.
Tuesday's location is undecided at the moment.
*This information will be confirmed by next Monday, so if you decide to signup to volunteer on Tuesday, be on the lookout for updated information on where to go.
