LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. — A teenager at McAuliffe Middle School in Los Alamitos set a goal to do 100 hours of community service before the end of the school year.

Alyssa Wiitanen has surpassed that goal and continues to volunteer by weeding at Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, crocheting scarves, making greeting cards and much more.

The student said her new goal is to help her classmates find ways to volunteer and help increase the total volunteer hours at her school.
