2020-2021 LAURELS FOR LEADERS

HIGH SCHOOL SERVICE PROJECT CHALLENGE

Why - You are among the more than 150,000 high-school aged students in San Diego County. We believe that working together, you have incredible potential for positive community impact. That is why we are challenging all High School ASB presidents to lead their peers in making a difference and spread the spirit of giving back during these particularly difficult times.

How - Together work with your ASB Advisor, select a service project from the list below or create your school’s own unique service project. An approved service project must meet all these Guidelines:

➢ Must be in compliance with your school and county COVID19 rules;

➢ Must be completed within any two-week period between November 1, 2020 and January 30, 2021; and

➢ Must have your ASB Advisor approval.
