Volunteering Opportunity with Tutorfly

Hello CSF Members,

We have an awesome opportunity to fundraise, donate to charity and earn volunteer hours through Tutorfly! This online platform allows students the opportunity to tutor their peers while earning volunteer hours and donations to charity. You can sign up to become a Tutorfly Tutor online and for every hour tutored through the site, you will receive one outside volunteer hour AND a $15 donation to a charity of your choice or your club! Furthermore, serving as a tutor counts as an event towards Liftetime Membership. However, there are more benefits than that!

Benefits of joining Tutorfly:

  • Flexible: Select your subjects and availability, choose your requests. Tutor in person or virtually!

  • Easy onboarding: Click the “Apply to be a Tutor” tab on tutorfly.org and fill out the quick survey. A Tutorfly Representative will reach out to you soon!

  • Support the community: Help students who have taken similar, if not the same, classes as you. Donate to local charities and earn volunteer hours (great for college apps)!

  • Continue with Tutorfly: Graduating from high school soon? Join the Tutorfly College Tutor and Essay Team!

  • Lifetime Membership: Serving as a tutor counts as an event towards Liftetime Membership!

The Tutorfly Team is extremely excited to help and more than happy to answer any questions you might have about the platform. Sign up online at tutorfly.org or email info@tutorfly.org if you have any questions.

Volunteers for CSF Banquet Needed!

Hi Members,

CSF has an end of year banquet coming up (4/29) and in order to plan and prepare for this event, we’re looking for volunteers that are willing to help us out in the planning process. 

There will be multiple opportunities for everyone that are easy, convenient, and (for some opportunities) rewarded by hours that will contribute towards the requirement for an advanced scholar diploma. Tasks that do not count as hours will go towards gaining events for lifetime membership and white gown. 

There are three sub- committees: decoration, promotion, and logistics. The form attached below provides a more in-depth description of the tasks available for volunteers.

Feel free to email us at dublinhighhcsf@gmail.com if you have any further questions!

Scholarship Opportunity for Seniors

The Michelson Award application period is now open! 

The Glenn Michelson Memorial Award was established in 2012 in memory of the late Glenn Michelson, past 20-year CSF adviser of Sequoia High School in Redwood City and past Board of Directors member who served as State President, CSF Registrar, Regional Vice-President, Historian, and Legislative Chair. He was a strong advocate of our CSF motto promoting community service. Upon his passing, Glenn bequeathed funds to CSF, and the Board of Directors voted to have an annual essay contest in Glenn’s honor open to high school CSF seniors who have a passion for service. The due date is December 22nd, Glenn’s birthday.

The Michelson Award is available to all seniors who are members of a CSF chapter. Eligibility is NOT limited to Sealbearers as it was when the contest first began.
