Our model for 9th-11th grade encourages students to join a group that addresses a community issue they care about. Throughout the year, they learn about that issue and take action through outreach experiences, special events, and awareness campaigns. Depending on the selected group, volunteering occurs during the school day, after-school, and/or during weekends. All students are supported by faculty sponsors and exposed to relevant current content through expert guests, articles, films, and other resources.
