Community Service Opportunities – Tell Us What You’ve Done
Wendy's Heisman September 25th, 2007
Community service is one of the core components of the Wendy’s High School Heisman Program as we look to recognize scholar-citizen-athletes. Giving of your time to others shows a willingness to look beyond yourself and it supports your community.
We want to hear about how you’ve volunteered your time with hospitals, animal shelters, neighborhood improvement projects, soup kitchens, tutoring, toy drives, religious groups, nursing homes, multicultural organizations, environmental causes, food banks, non-profit agencies, sports fundraisers, etc. And it’s great if you’ve held a leadership position in a volunteer organization or won an award.
In the end, community service is its own reward – the time you spend volunteering will push you outside your comfort zone, give you the chance to make new friends and experience new things, help you learn more about your community, and let you make a positive impact.
Each year when we review the applications, we are blown away by all the volunteer work being done by high school students. You are an amazing bunch of citizens!
If you are a high school student looking to volunteer your time, check out this long list of community service ideas!
