Club Values
The central values of Castro Valley High School's CSF revolve around the motto of "Scholarship for Service". Through being a member of CSF, you demonstrate several values of the club, by showing club dedication, giving back to serve your communities, maintaining your academic status, growing leadership skills, and building overall character. With CVHS not officially being a part of the NHS (National Honor Society), our club and its members should exemplify the values of "Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character".
What We Offer
Castro Valley High School's CSF acts as our school's (unofficial) Honor Society. Our club offers:
-
A means to earn / record community service hours. This can be done through either CSF-led events, or earned through outside volunteering opportunities (Church, mentoring, etc.)
-
SCHOLARSHIPS!!! Our club is the only one at CVHS that offers scholarships during senior award night. We also offer various methods to earn scholarships for seniors.
-
Annual CSF volunteering awards (Gold/Silver/Bronze). These awards are given out based on the amount of hours accumulated throughout the school year. Gold is 30+ hours, Silver is 20+ hours, and Bronze is 10+ hours.
-
Another extracurricular to add to your college apps! On top of offering scholorships, being a part of CSF allows you to put community service hours on your college resume, writing about volunteering experiences, and even being a CSF life member when you graduate!
