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• Almost 30% of college students report participating in a course where service is part of the curriculum (unpublished data from the HERI study at UCLA)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.
