Complete a series of activities to make “Bingo” and earn one hour of service. Complete each box on the sheet for five hours of service. Find Bingo sheet and instructions here.
Opportunity #4
Learn more about race and anti-racism. Read or watch something from our Fighting Racism lists and write a review. Each book read plus review will be worth five volunteer hours, and each movie watched plus review will be worth three volunteer hours.

Opportunity #5
Contact your representatives! Even if you’re not old enough to vote, everyone is old enough to let their representatives know what they think. Visit this link for a list of your representatives with contact information and ideas for current issues to address. Please share a copy of your letter/or proof of your call in order to get service hours. Each letter or call is worth 1 hour earned of volunteer service, with a limit of 5 hours.
