Local Service Trips

Throughout the year, Pay It Forward provides smaller scale local service opportunities. Pay It Forward provides transportation to and from service sites, so there is no need for students to find their own. We offer a wide variety of service trips focusing on various community needs to allow students to gain new experiences and match students to opportunities that they are genuinely passionate about.

Autumn 2025 Service Events:

Charity Newsies

Sunday, October 5, 12:30 p.m.- 3:30 p.m.

Volunteers will assist Girl Scout volunteers participating in the Girl Scouts Program. Volunteers will assist with organizing clothing for school age kids. Registration for this trip is now closed.

Ohio History Connection

Sunday, October 26, 2:30 p.m.-5:30 p.m.

We are looking for volunteers who like to work with children! This is an event that that is hosted each year for our near neighbors. It is widely popular and an amazing event to be part of hosting. It’s more than just candy - it’s about creating joyful, meaningful moments for our near neighbors and showing them how much they matter to us. We’re aiming to gather 30+ volunteers to help bring the magic to life, and we’d be so grateful if you’d consider joining us! Register here!
