The event is scheduled for Tuesday, November 15, 2022, and is designed for high school and college students age 16 plus to earn one to eight hours of community service while experiencing recycling and sustainability programs that support Goodwill’s Core Value #11: Recycle, Reduce, Reuse & Repurpose.

Please distribute as appropriate to your youth ministry staff to share with students who need community service to meet financial aid, course, or graduation requirements during the 2022 Fall Semester.
