CAP has always been a stressful part of being a high schooler at Westridge. Like PE credit, it feels like a daunting, impossible, time-consuming task at times. However, most seniors have finished their projects, so we thought we'd share some insight with you. Here are some ideas if you're feeling stuck!

Start a non-profit
Anyone who says CAP isn’t a big deal is lying to you. If your Community Action Project does not transform lives around the globe, you aren’t doing it right. 40 hours is the minimum requirement, but truthfully, if you’re a decent person, you’ll spend at least 1,000. I’m telling you right now, you should be transporting well water to developing nations with your bare hands.
Become a cult leader
Technically if you’re making little enough money, you call your cult a nonprofit. So really what I mean is start a really unsuccessful cult. Think optional communes and structurally weak pyramid schemes.
Become a superhero
Apparently it doesn’t matter how many people you murder as long as it’s for the greater good. So if you’d like to be disproportionately admired for some deeds of questionable-at-best morality, this is the path for you! Don’t ask why I hate superheros so much, or you will become convinced that I myself am a supervillain.
Write a podcast
Bring diversity to the podcast world! Tell everyone (who listens to podcasts) about an issue you care about! This has no downsides and is definitely real service work.
Start a hair donation scheme
Cut off all your friends’ hair!
Start walking to school
Reduce your carbon footprint and get lots of steps! A perfect project for quarantine, you can cut down your carbon footprint with hardly any effort!
Buyout Brandy Melville’s entire franchise
Everyone acknowledges this is a terrible store for a variety of reasons — if you buy everything, they’ll have nothing left to sell! Perfect logic for a perfect CAP project.
Fedora
Everyone looks good in a fedora! Don’t listen to what anyone else says on this subject. Fedoras are very dapper and will make anyone as handsome as Perry the Platypus. They're the best kind of CAP around.
