Community Service Learning

Community service-learning offers students experiences, which may provide:

  • Application of classroom learning
  • Awareness of career opportunities
  • Understanding of his/her role in society (civic responsibility)

Community service is service without pay to a non-profit agency/organization, an individual, or a group in need.

  1. Students must complete 40 hours of service and a reflection questionnaire, before May 1st of their senior year. Service may begin the summer prior to a student’s freshmen year.
  2. For students enrolled after the first semester of their freshmen year, the requirement will be prorated to equal five hours times the number of semesters enrolled in L’Anse Creuse Public Schools.
  3. Service must be performed outside of school hours unless under the supervision of the
    classroom teacher and directly tied to the curriculum. (Service-Learning)
  4. All community service must be pre-approved by the Community Service - Learning Coordinator.
  5. Childcare/baby sitting count only when done for a non-profit organization.
  6. Helping family members is done out of love and is not considered community service.

Student Reflections

Application of Lessons:
“I kept stats for the team, so that helped me with my math skills.” Nicole

“I felt academic service-learning was an effective learning tool, because it gave me hands on experience with what I had to do for that class. I learn easier if I have a visual aid in front of me.” Alexis

Career Awareness:
“Community Service Learning provided me with increased social skills which may prove very valuable in future career experiences.” Dan

“Working at the Salvation Army made me consider social work as a profession.” Emily

Civic Responsibility:
“In my Community Service I learned that political people do a lot more than you might think to win a
seat in state office. It takes more than money and a lot of signs.” Justin

“I think that it’s important for teenagers to be part of a community. We are the future and the more we know, the better it is.” Anna
