SVF Community Service Program Process
• When presenting yourself at an organization to offer your volunteer services,
ask to speak with the Director of Volunteers; introduce yourself and SVF
School
• Explain the reason for your call, using a few words about our SVF
Community Service Program
• Once you’ve been accepted and have agreed to certain days/hours and
responsibilities:
o Ask the person who will be your Supervisor (& an alternate, if
needed) to read, complete and sign your SVF Community Service
documents
o The following day, completed documents are to be returned to the
SVF Community Service Office.

COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM FOR HS STUDENTS
Trish Gough - Director of Volunteers: tgough@lsafhs.org or 646.672.5434
Introduction
LSA Family Health Service, located at 333 East 115th St, is committed to offering
high quality service learning opportunities for high school students who are open
to learning about and working with the most vulnerable children and families in
East Harlem. The program is designed to help students broaden their perspective
and understanding of civic responsibility by engaging in meaningful volunteer
activities that also fulfill community service graduation requirements.
Volunteer Opportunities at LSA
LSA is a multi-program human service organization with on-site volunteer
opportunities in these areas:
Parent and Child Development: Student volunteers work in the classroom
with mothers and their children up to 3 years old. Activities include engaging
mothers and children in various forms of age-appropriate play and assisting
classroom teachers with structured activities. Each session is two hours, with 3
sessions a day. Volunteer hours are flexible.
Afterschool Homework Help: Student volunteers provide 1 on 1homework
help to children attending East Harlem public and parochial schools, first grade
through high school. The program runs Mondays and Thursdays, 4:45 to 6:00 pm.
Food Pantry: LSA’s food pantry is open to LSA clients on an ongoing basis and
to the community at large on Wednesdays, 1-3 pm. Student volunteers help stock
shelves and assist families in choosing food items. Volunteer hours are flexible.
16Sharing Place Thrift Shop: LSA runs a thrift shop at its building on 115th St
between 1st and 2nd Avenues. It’s open to community residents Monday-Saturday,
10 am to 5 pm. Student volunteers assist customers, help stock shelves and racks,
keep clothing folded and properly hung/displayed, and may accompany the thrift
shop van to pick up donations in Manhattan, Bronx and Queens. Volunteer hours
are flexible.
Arts: Student volunteers work with children in LSA programs on creative art
projects, writing and poetry workshops, and inter-active musical performances for
the winter holidays and other times throughout the year. Volunteer hours are
usually late in the day, but with some flexibility.
Custom Designed Opportunities: We welcome and encourage student
creativity by enlisting their help and feedback to design projects that relate to their
own interests. We can create service learning projects for one student or for a
groups of students, that will fit both the needs of the students and the needs of our
programs. It’s a win-win situation!
