Service Bulletin Boards

Every chapter runs a service opportunity bulletin board in their high school. They post flyers to help their peers find places to volunteer locally.

Chapters Drive Community Engagement

The purpose of the chapter system is to help teens get involved with community service by volunteering alongside their peers. 

However daunting volunteering for the first time may seem, it's always easier with a familiar face. Thus, by organizing volunteer opportunities and events, our chapters help bring more young people out to serve their community.

    Spread the News

    A flyer containing information about the volunteer opportunity is posted to the school bulletin board. Students can sign up using the information provided, thus eliminating the normal hassle experienced by those who want to serve their communities.
