Our Purpose in Community service program is largely realized through partnerships with non-profit organizations in New York City. By partnering with these local organizations, we can ensure our students experience hands-on volunteer opportunities that authentically meet the needs of our partner organizations. Our community service learning continues in the classroom and in advisory through curricular units that help our students familiarize themselves with the organization with which they are partnering as well as with the social issue the organization addresses. Every service experience is followed by a reflection activity so that our students internalize how their volunteering impacts the partnership and their community.
