The SIA Team at De La Salle High School engaged 66% of their school in volunteer efforts, including their annual Laps For Life run to raise money and awareness for suicide prevention. Overall they generated 65,500 volunteer hours and fundraised $20k for their community!
SIA has been a truly positive experience for me. I got to expand my network through the multiple conferences we attended, and made a stronger connection with my officers. By becoming an officer next year, I want to encourage my fellow peers to be the change. I’m starting this by leading a give love project at our school as an attempt to make more students feel like they should, important. — Student Leader, Tennyson High School

After publicity about the death of Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford’s family member from asthma, San Leandro High School’s SIA team realized how many at their school were impacted by this disease, and felt it was important to spread awareness for those impacted. The SIA team ultimately raised over $6,000 for research.
In their first year in the SIA program, Deer Valley’s Students In Action team held several events including a donation drive for a hospital in Kenya – raising over 1,100 items to help the medical facility.

Learning and leading are fundamentals my team has learned from Students in Action, as new opportunities have taught my team and I to step out of our comfort zone. Suddenly leading and advocating for others’ ideas became easier and Students in Action has 100% helped me achieve that. We are forever appreciative and grateful! — Student Leader, KIPP King High School
