A recent
study by the U.S. Department of Education reported:
- Number of
school districts offering community service with credit, awards,
and/or guidance: 86%
- Percentage
of schools/districts that have a service requirement: 18%
- Number of
public high school students involved in service initiatives -
approximately 6.2 million; number of private high school students
- approximately 830,000
- Almost 30%
of college students report participating in a course where service
is part of the curriculum (unpublished data from the HERI study
at UCLA)
Below are several links for organizations that you can contact for additional
community service opportunities:
Plus, you
can volunteer with your local EMS unit, Humane Society, ASPCA, local
schools, senior centers, or any other group in your community.
