Santa Clara County Community Service and Internship Opportunities

This is a good listing from the Santa Clara County Office of Education, which supports my work this year to build the community engagement program at Palo Alto High School (Paly.net/service). Students find purpose in making post-high school plans by pursuing meaningful service-learning and community engagement opportunities!

Palo Alto Online : VIDEO: VolunTEENS, Part 2

Thank you, Carolina, for sharing your talent as a short film producer to highlight more Palo Alto High School teens' good works. There are so many stories out there! I enjoy sharing what I see our students do to make a difference in the world, while pursuing their interests. This is one more way to prove our students aren't doing service-learning and volunteering for "credit." They are doing it because they have passion and they care.
