A Commitment to Serve

Hallmarks* three and four call us to work for justice and peace in the world through justice advocacy and direct service. All students commit to community service and develop their own pathways as people of service and impact in the world.

* The Hallmarks of a Notre Dame Learning Community can be found on page 25.

GRADE-LEVEL COMMUNITY SERVICE

9TH serving women and children

10TH serving marginalized or vulnerable populations

11TH serving our local communities

Senior Capstone Project

12TH students select issues to address and communities to serve

The Senior Service Learning Project integrates a Notre Dame student’s curricular and co-curricular learning across four years. Through this project, students gain an understanding that service is transformational for the community served as well as the student.

196 local agencies supported by the Class of 2023 through their service learning projects.

Notre Dame uses service as a way to not only help the community and to ‘care for God’s creation,’ but also to provide students with new experiences. The experiences we gain through service opportunities help us empathize with those in our community who are experiencing hardships, while also helping them.”
