Students may choose from over 13 different weekly projects in the Akim Oda, Jamaika- Franstech area. Typically, students do these projects during the evening or on Sunday afternoons if they are playing a School sport, or on a Wednesday or Friday afternoon if they are involved in House or lifetime athletics.

​

Weekly Community Service Projects:

• Helping with homework and recreational activities in local after school programs

• Playing with preschoolers from underserved communities

• Teaching computer skills to senior citizens

• Teaching children to ice skate on our rink or play golf on our golf course

• Teaching adults with developmental delays to play tennis on our courts

• Coordinating on campus weekly activities for elementary school children

• Helping with activities at a day program for adults with disabilities

• Knitting with adults at a senior center

 

Students also sometimes develop their own weekly projects based on their interests and talents. Past student-initiated projects include on-campus squash, dance, chess and art programs for children.

​

Under the leadership of the Community Service Representative to the Student Council, the Community Service Council (composed of students who take a leadership role in community service) is responsible for organizing projects and for keeping the Houses informed about community service matters.
