Interview Processssssssssssss
I came to know about the ICC Teens for Others program through the RADIO! That my itself was a motivation for me to check out the program and I am glad I did.
Then came the interview process…by that I mean a day to meet new people and have fun! The first half of the interview day was filled up with fun games and little projects. This allowed us to get comfortable with each other. We all were divided into groups and I was in the “MOO” group!!! We were put to the test right then and there. A room full of EVERYTHING was given to us and we were suppose to organize it in a way were people can walk through it.
With many, many, tries later, we finally got to a point where we could see the floor. While all of this was going on Serena came in the room and called my name.
It was time…
We went outside for the interview. She asked me a series of questions relating to my personality. I felt comfortable and calm. That was it! the interview was just a way to get to know us better.

Baking pies for St. Anthony’s Padua Dining Room
Pies, Good Company, Community Service Hours! What more could you want?
On December 30th, six kind of awkward (but kind of awesome) high schoolers got together to bake pies (apple, berry, pies that exist merely in dreams). We weren’t in the same grade. We weren’t in the same school. We weren’t even friends. But we all had so much fun. What was this in the name of? Helping our entire community for a couple of hours, a community that helps each of us everyday…
Serena Gupta, junior, and Trisha Vaidyanathan, senior, remark after the launch of the ICC’s Teens for Others. The new program gives the opportunity for High School students in the bay area to come together and participate in different community service events. Members are given the chance to hang out with one another while serving the Indian and outside community.
How does the program work?
The program is designed to fit the schedules of the average high school student. The program begins on September 19, 2010 and ends May 19, 2010. During that time, we offer different community service opportunities in and out of ICC. Participants can choose when to partake in these volunteering opportunities, so as to fit any schedule. Additionally, once a month we convene to discuss what we have done, what we want to do, and get to know each other.
How many community service hours do we get?
During the 8-month period, participants complete a minimum of 50 hours: 30 hours at the ICC and 20 hours at exterior organizations. But most people will get even more.
How often do we meet?
Participants are required to come to a monthly meeting that will focus on different aspects of our program. In addition, we will offer approximately 3 other opportunities each month to help the community.
Where do we meet?
We generally will meet at the location of the organization we are helping, but the monthly meetings will be held at the ICC.
Does this program cost anything?
No, it’s totally free.
How old do we have to be?
You must be between the ages 14-19 and be currently enrolled in high school.
How do we apply?
Sorry the application deadline is done for the year! But apply next year!
