Community Service: Service Learning for the Youth

NAC believes that it is as important to prepare students for lives of good citizenship as it is to prepare them for the intellectual challenges of college. We seek to develop the habit of community involvement, to awaken concern for those coping with hardship, and to encourage a sense of responsibility for our environment. In the school there resides the conviction that a meaningful and flexible program of mandatory community service can raise social awareness, broaden outlooks, build conscience and maturity, and teach sound leadership values and skills.

Community Service: Academic Credit                                                                  

The Service Learning Project is a requirement work for students . A minimum of 12 hours must be done during the 4 years of High School. Ten of those hours must be hands-on service. In addition to the 12 hours, a service-learning progress report will be submitted as a final product.

There are many opportunities available on weekends, and students are expected to be as faithful about fulfilling their responsibilities at these times as they are during the school week.

Opportunities for volunteering will be posted on the Community Service Bulletin Board on a continuing basis. Students will sign up for these activities and will be responsible for fulfilling their commitments.
