MCHS clubs are stepping out of the classroom and into the community, making significant impacts through a variety of service projects. From organizing food drives to tutoring younger students, these clubs are dedicated to giving back and fostering community spirit.
As more students recognize the power of collective effort, school clubs play a significant role in addressing community needs. These initiatives not only benefit the community but also provide students with valuable life skills.
MCHS clubs such as Ladies First, focus on helping others learn how to advocate for themselves. Dedicated member, now club president Jeslyn Rodriguez strives to create an uplifting environment for all students.
“We also want to promote self growth and self equality,” Rodriguez said.
Clubs like Lend-A-Paw, are dedicated to supporting those in need, specifically less fortunate animals. Lend-A-Paw president Victor Higareda started this club to give back to animals in need. Under his leadership, Lend-A-Paw aims to create volunteering opportunities that allow community members to connect with animals in need.
“Recently we’ve been emailing multiple shelters and trying to see if they can allow us to go and volunteer, in groups, so we can like, clean kennels, or try reading to dogs, or socializing with, like cats and bunnies,” Higareda said.
The success of student clubs also comes from the dedication of their members. Freshman Emily Flores is an active member of Wish Come True. Her involvement showcases how students are not just participants but engage with the community and make meaningful contributions. Flores expresses why she thinks community service is important.
“Usually when you do community service you’re helping the people close to you, and it’s good to be helpful,” Flores said.
