Urgent Plea for Volunteers

Yes, you heard that correct, the Hollywood High School Alumni Association is in urgent need of volunteers. And before you click off this page, consider that our entire volunteer mission is over 100 year old organization is the preservation of the prospect for a future education of our high school students and the culture of our alumni members.

We are in constant need of help. Alumni Day is a very big project alone and that requires many volunteers.

I never went to Hollywood High School, can I volunteer anyway?

The answer is an enthusiastic "yes!"

We extend our friendship to all. We are seeking help with projects that will send our young college-bound students off with sufficient funds to make it in the real world through our scholarship funds.

The precious and valuable time you donate will be used to ensure the success of our future community leaders who may never get there without our help.

Right now we need the following help and if you feel you are capable of assisting in these areas, please let us know:

• Membership committee: Helping us reach out to those persons who graduated from our school, ensuring their information is updated and that they receive periodic calls to confirm their contact information and interest in continued support of the Hollywood High School Alumni Association
