Gulf Shores Gives Back 2025
What is it?
Get ready for a wave of service! Gulf Shores City Schools is excited to announce "Gulf Shores Gives Back," a community-wide service day on February 27, 2025 . This annual event is all about uniting our students, teachers, and community members in a collective effort to strengthen the heart of our beautiful city. Gulf Shores Gives Back is an initiative of the Gulf Shores City Schools' Mental Health Advisory Committee. It is a school-wide community service day in which the entire school system works together to strengthen our community through volunteer projects. We partner with the City of Gulf Shores and service organizations to fulfill the identified needs of local citizens and entities such as Gulf State Park and the Center for Ecotourism. Examples of service projects include planting sea oats on the beach, providing cards and flowers to nursing home residents, cleaning up local parks, and providing meals to those in need. In an effort to fulfill our core values, Gulf Shores City Schools believes it is important for students to develop a service mindset and to practice giving back to our community on a regular basis. We invite the entire City of Gulf Shores to join us for Gulf Shores Gives Back 2025.
Three thousand students and community leaders joined forces for more than a hundred projects throughout Gulf Shores as part of the second annual Gulf Shores Gives Back. Students learned some valuable lessons outside of the classroom and the city is better for it.
