Community Service Crosby Scholar students has been making an impact in our local community for over 30 years. Ever wonder why we require our students to complete community service each year? Here's why: 1.Service is important and allows you to gain skills and experience 2. shows that you can handle responsibility 3. helps you practice time management.

4. Colleges are looking for students who are active and engaged with their community

“Remember that the happiest peopleare not those getting more, but those giving more.”

- H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Where should you volunteer?

Think about your interests, and then research nonprofit organizations that align with those interests. Who knows, volunteering could turn into a job or career later down the road.
