Get involved in your community Bison! It’s easier than you would think to find service opportunities, but the Pointer would also like to outline a few. (Section written by Abigail Lee and Catherine Miller)
-Breakfast Buddies
This is an opportunity to mentor a student at Northwood Elementary every Thursday at their breakfast time. You must be there from 7:20-7:55, and be able to make most Thursdays of every month.

-Community Clinic of High Point
They need anyone who is willing to help December 7th of 2024 from 8 am to 11 am, to serve food at Saint Mary’s Episcopal Church for a community meal. They are also taking donations for food at the church (which they desperately need)

Special event opportunities are things such as Children’s Department events, Friends of the Library book sales, health fairs, and so many others!
-High Point Theatre
The High Point Theatre is looking for students ages 16 and up to volunteer, so if you have interest in theatre/theatre production, this is a great idea for you! Get experience greeting patrons, ushering, selling concessions, and distributing flyers for shows! You also get volunteer hours if you discuss this opportunity with your counselor. Sign up with the link below if you are interested!
-Triad Food Pantry
Help your community provide food for those in need in surrounding homeless shelters by volunteering at the Triad Food Pantry. Your volunteer work could help make a difference in the Triad!
