Community Service

Vision, Guidelines, and more

Why Community Service?

社区服务为学生提供了成为社区活跃成员的机会，并且可以有一个持久的, 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. 鼓励学生根据自己的价值观追求感兴趣的领域或激情项目，提供个人满足感和快乐.
 
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. 服务的内在好处并不总是立竿见影的，学生可以为任何志愿者工作带来的一些最有价值的技能就是同情心, an open mind, a willingness to do whatever is needed, and a positive attitude. 社区服务活动也可以通过让学生在毕业前获得与工作相关的技能来提升学生的简历, 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, 进行社区服务让学生有机会亲眼看到他们的工作对世界有多大的影响. 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. 他们可以与有着截然不同背景的人互动，并在培养全球视野的同时学会耐心和同理心.
