Fall 2026 Volunteer Opportunities
Thank you for your interest in volunteering for LAEF
High Schoolers:
Looking for a rewarding way to earn community service hours and build your leadership skills? Volunteer with the Los Alamitos Education Foundation (LAEF) after-school enrichment programs!
As a high school volunteer, you will work alongside our instructors to help younger students with exciting, hands-on classes like science, art, and sports. It’s a fantastic way to give back, support kids in your community, and boost your resume.
The Best Part? As a thank you for your time, you will receive 2 full hours of community service credit for every 1.5-hour shift you complete! When you arrive on campus, you'll simply check in with our LAEF Campus Coordinator to get your assignment and track your hours.
👉 Ready to help? Check out our available dates, locations, and time slots below and claim your shifts today!
