Community Service

Vision, Guidelines, and more

Why Community Service?

Community service provides students with the opportunity to become active members of their community and can have a lasting, positive, impact on society at large. It enables students to acquire life skills and knowledge; as well as provide a service to those who need it most. Students are encouraged to pursue areas of interest or passion projects based on their own values providing personal satisfaction and joy.
 
For our high school students, 参与不仅会对组织和被服务的人产生影响, but also to the student. The intrinsic benefits of service aren’t always immediate and some of the most valuable skills a student can bring to any volunteer effort are compassion, an open mind, a willingness to do whatever is needed, and a positive attitude. Community service activities can also enhance student resumes by allowing students to obtain work-related skills prior to graduation, 为雇主在社区参与方面建立良好的参考资料, 并提供了一个与未来潜在雇主建立联系的论坛.

For our middle school students, performing community service gives students the opportunity to see first-hand just how much their work can have an impact on the world. 我们在西伯里的许多学生在当地的食品银行做志愿者, animal shelters, retirement communities, and serving community meals, to name a few. They get to interact with people who have vastly different backgrounds and learn patience and empathy as they develop a global perspective.
