Each year, more than 200 volunteers from 15 area high schools will join forces in the spring as part of the Giving Back Task Force’s Spring Into Service.

The Giving Back Task Force is a coordinated by Saginaw Community Foundation and United Way of Saginaw County.

In 2002, the Saginaw Community Foundation and the United Way of Saginaw County organized a focus group comprising students and staff representing eight area high schools in response to Gen. Colin Powell’s America’s Promise program.

The following schools have participated over the years: Bridgeport High School, Carrollton High School, Chesaning High School, Freeland High School, Hemlock High School, Heritage High School, Mackinaw High School, Merrill High School, Nouvel Catholic Central High School, Saginaw Arts & Sciences Academy, Saginaw Covenant Academy, Saginaw United High School, SISD Transition Center, St. Charles High School, Swan Valley High School and Valley Lutheran High School.
