What is the FSS Service & Volunteer Program?
The FSS service curriculum offers opportunities for school and college students to perform community service, and do internships, project work, and job shadowing. Programs vary in complexity, depending on the school’s objective. Students have previously done birthday gift, toy, clothing and food drives as well as service projects (painting, uniform collection) for Martin Luther King Day. Collected items are distributed to children and families by FSS social workers, or made use of in designated program sites. Volunteer interns have worked in classrooms, assisted teachers, or provided nursing assistance.
