The mission of the community service club at Gateway is to help different
communities succeed. Students need to complete 100 hours to graduate, or 25
hours per year at Gateway.
The Gateway Community Service program
provides organized group activities to enable Gateway students participate
in an array of volunteer opportunities.We serve the San Francisco community
by volunteering in soup kitchens, homeless shelters, food distribution centers,
by conducting
schoolwide food
drives, beach and park cleanups, and sporting events.
We serve the Gateway community by
tutoring, cleaning up the school, recycling, and working at school events such
as graduation, the auction, the international potluck, open houses, and performances.
What can I do?
Volunteer at our next event. We have
a number of exciting and fun opportunities to give back to your community each
school year. This year we helped to make the Gateway International Potluck
a success. On some Saturdays we have served at Glide Memorial Church's soup
kitchen and it was a great experience. We will be going back again soon. We
will also
work at the San Francisco Food Bank, and other community organizations throughout
the year. Watch the community service bulletin board and the calendar postings
for upcoming
events. You can also sign up for peer tutoring
in Math, Spanish, or the Learning Center.
OK, so I'm ready to do community service; tell me the details.
Gateway students are required to complete
100 hours of community service to graduate. Students can earn hours over the
summer, and hours will roll over from year to year. Meaning if you have
75
hours
in the summer after freshman year, you only have to do 25 more sometime before
you graduate.
Community service work cannot be paid.
It must help others, not just yourself. You should choose activities that you
enjoy and that will help you grow and learn.
When you complete some community service,
fill out a form that you can pick up from the community service bulletin board
or download above. Then turn in the completed form to the Community Service
Advisor's mail box in the main
office.
You can check your total hours by
asking your advisor or by looking at the posting on the bulletin board.
Go out and find something you love to do that serves your community
