Code Club Volunteer Opportunities!

/in /by

SkillsUSA is sponsoring an amazing community service opportunity, Barbara Morgan STEM Academy’s Code Club. It meets every Tuesday from 4:00-4:45 PM.  The school is located on Linder and Ustick, near Tully Park.

Not only is this a lot of fun, it fulfills requirements for your community service hours.  Remember that you must complete nine community service hours by the end of the school year. Seniors, juniors, and freshmen, please note that you do not have community service built into your grade level project. Therefore, this is an excellent opportunity to get those hours or to rack up some STOR points (20 points per meeting).

The volunteer positions are below:
