Service

As members of the Mission College Prep community, we are called to live according to a pattern of love and service modeled by Jesus Christ. As followers of Christ, we believe that we are all brothers and sisters and that much of the injustice in the world would be extinguished if more people acted on this principle. We try to model this calling in two different types of service.

First, students are required to serve for our Mission College Prep school. We find students have a better sense of ownership and belonging when they take an active role in helping care for Mission College Prep and its activities.

Second, students are required to reach out passed the borders of our school to our city, state, country, and our world to apply the idea that everyone in the world is our sister and brother. Some past community service examples have included, but are not limited to volunteering at hospitals, animal shelters, or convalescent homes. Others may include tutoring elementary or middle school students, serving your local parish or church community, or helping deliver food through Meals on Wheels.

To clarify:

School Hours refer to time and energy that benefits our school directly.

Community Hours refers to time and energy that directly works with people in need/non-profits outside the school walls.

All community service hours must be completed for a non-profit or other agency helping those in need. Donations, internships, helping at offices that are not non-profits, helping a parents business or helping family/friends DO NOT count toward community service hours.
