With these benefits, the school establishes closer ties with the community, fulfills civic responsibility, links students to worthwhile service projects, and meets the California State Superintendent's goal of incorporating service into the K-12 grade span. Members should plan to attend monthly meetings throughout the year. Members will also participate in service projects on Martin Luther King Day, and Volunteer Connection Days. New members are recruited and selected by their schools.
