Teresa Martinez | Director of Communications

The Volunteer Service Fair was held on September 30 for students in 9th and 10th grade, as well as those from 11th grade who had signed up. Over 400 students participated and connected with over 30 community partners in attendance.
 

“We are blessed to have so many wonderful community partners present,” said Christian Service Coordinator Teresita Gonzalez. “It is with gratitude that we welcome the men and women dedicated to serving the most in need in our community, who help our young men navigate what it means to serve others. This was an excellent way for students to discover numerous exciting opportunities to serve and build a kinder, more connected world.”

“I want our students to put a face to the name,” said Gonzalez. “Many times they may sign up to volunteer at an organization without knowing much about them and this fair allowed them to begin a relationship with someone, learn their needs, before committing to service.”
