NEW!!! Effective December 2024, SUHSD School Board has reduced the number of required community service hours from 30 to 10.

All community service hours must be pre-approved by the student's Academic Coach prior to completing hours. If you do not go through the pre-approval process, you are at risk of your hours not being counted towards graduation.

Please download the Community Service form here. Hard copies can be made available at Mission Control.

Organize/Set Up a Community Market (Ages 12+)

Get ready to move fast. Porchlight Community Services rescues thousands of pounds of food each week and redistributes it through a grocery-style, “client-choice” FoodSHARE program. They focus on zero waste, sustainability, and empowering families with choice. Volunteers help make this possible by setting up their community market, managing their food wall hydroponic garden, and dehydrating produce, all in a high-energy, fast-paced environment.

Volunteers will need to stay organized, think on their feet, solve problems as they arise, and maintain safety, cleanliness, and food handling at all times. Perishables must be put away within 20 minutes of arrival to ensure quality and safety.

Volunteers help reduce food waste, promote food justice, and create a dignified, empowering experience for every participant.
