Community Service
Community service is a pillar of the TRUE NORTH mission and program.
Our teens have given over 4,000 hours of community service since our inception in 2014. We believe that giving back to your community builds stronger individuals for the future. Check out our upcoming service opportunities and past projects below!
Students, please see the available, ongoing opportunities with local non-profits. If you are looking for further individual or group service opportunities, please contact us and we can work with you to set up more events.
