Juniors Can Do STEP Community Service Hours during Summer

Starting this summer, current juniors can do their 10 hours of community service for STEP during the summer. In the past, the community service hours had to be done during senior year.

This is a great option for students who anticipate having a busy senior year, and/or who wish to participate in community service activities that only occur during the summer, such as volunteering at the Maple Valley Farmers Market.

Students who wish to complete their service during the summer must:

1. Attend an informational meeting on Thursday, June 1 in the lecture hall or Monday, June 5 in the library. The meetings will be during APP. Running Start students who cannot attend should contact Lara Lindersmith llinders@tahomasd.us. 
2. Fill out the required form for approval (more information about this will be provided at the meetings).

Community service is any activity that benefits those in the community and is not paid. It cannot be for family members and cannot be work required for a class. 

Students who are interested in volunteering at the Maple Valley Farmers' Market can attend an information meeting on Tuesday, June 6 during APP in the lecture hall. Click here to see different opportunities for volunteering at the Farmers' Market.

Students who are serious about a career in the medical field should consider volunteering in a medical setting. Multicare allows students 16 and older to volunteer in their facilities, but they have a 100 hour minimum commitment. UW Medicine clinics only allow volunteers who are 18 and older.
