Local Service Trips

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