Parent and student volunteers identify ways the Maplewood community can help the broader community, whether it be raising bake sale funds for a family in need; organizing a food drive; or collecting coats for the homeless.
What We Do:
- We put out a bi-monthly Mustangs Helping Out, listing local family volunteering opportunities.
- We run a Family Community Service Night once a year, during which families eat dinner and do service projects (gatherings permitted).
- We respond to local needs as they arise, such as supporting the Maplewood community with essential needs, raising funds or resources for hurricane victims, or providing supplies to persons experiencing homelessness.
Open to all kinds of ideas of how to enhance community service for students and families. Great opportunity for student involvement and leadership development too.
Number of Chairs: 2
General volunteer needs:
Additional support at every level is very welcome to both help with planned activities and propose new ideas for the future.
