Community Service Forms

 

Community Service

Community Service is an important, positive opportunity not only for the community but the student as well. The research regarding self-esteem, resiliency, and community relationships indicates a very strong connection that can result in a strong, meaningful experience for all those involved. Service learning provides opportunities for students to be involved in real life situations beyond the curriculum/classroom and into the community to help foster the development of a sense of caring about others.
