Project California

Join us this summer for an unforgettable experience on our Project California program. Experience the joy of volunteering your time while also meeting new friends and exploring the incredible city of Santa Barbara. The goal of Project California Community Service is not only to give back to the local community, but for our participants to also learn about themselves and to grow through their experiences.

Upon completion of Project California, each participant will receive a certificate recognizing 40, 60, or 80 HOURS of SUMMER COMMUNITY SERVICE. Each person volunteers with the same project for the length of their program. This allows our teenagers to create more meaningful bonds with those they are helping. Our participants volunteer each morning, Monday through Friday.

Each weekday contains a great mix of meaningful community service, enriching afternoon electives, great local excursions, and fun evening activities. Located next to the Pacific Ocean, bordered by the majestic Santa Ynez Mountains, and bursting with history and culture, Santa Barbara is the perfect location for Project California.

Each weekend during Project California is spent discovering exciting destinations throughout sunny southern California. Chill on beautiful Catalina Island and visit Disneyland during our Orange County Weekend, discover Santa Monica and browse Rodeo Drive during our fun Los Angeles Weekend, and check-out Universal Studios and The Improv Comedy Club during our weekend in Hollywood.

Each participant should come to Project California with an open mind and positive attitude, excited about new experiences, ready to fully participate in volunteer work, and willing to challenge oneself to step outside of his or her comfort zone. Each one of our teenagers is a partner in making Project California a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
