On Valentine’s Day, students were demonstrating an affinity for volunteerism as they connected with 20 charitable organizations at Jesuit’s annual service fair. While all students are welcome, juniors – who will be completing the Junior Service Project – were encouraged to attend. Between now and the end of first semester next year, rising seniors will perform 100 hours of service with a single agency as part of these efforts. Service must consist of direct contact with people in need, and projects span mentoring at-risk children, working at camps for children with disabilities, and traveling abroad to perform manual labor. To graduate, students must complete their hours, write a reflective essay, and participate in group reflection with a faculty member and classmates.
