Community Action joins We Day volunteering program

As the year is coming to an end and plans begin to form for the next year, the student group Community Action is working to see what they can do to make the biggest difference in the community. “We want to make service in this school seem like more of a positive and rewarding experience, not just a sophomore requirement,” co-president Alex Miller said. They are hoping to keep doing the good things that they have done in the past such as working with the homeless, but also work on changing a few things. They want to get the Upper School community more involved and help students make a difference.

Community Action has changed their name from Service Learning, but they have the same values. They are joining a program called We Day, which encourages students to get more involved in their community and around the world. We Day hosts a concert every year with famous artists, and students can earn a ticket by doing a certain number of service hours. “Service has become a chore, but I think if we do fun things than it will work well,” junior co-president Anna Carlson said.

 

This article has been revised to reflect the following update: Community Action changed their name from Service Learning, not to Service Learning.
