Virtual Service

The Service Program for the Class of 2020 has concluded. Thank you for your service!

If you have questions about service requirements and your eligibility for graduation, please contact Mr. Perry directly. 

Update: We have closed the Senior Service Practicum Survey. Any students who did not complete the survey should contact Mr. Perry.

SENIOR SERVICE EXPERIENCE & PRACTICUM: Decisions about the structure and frequency of the Senior Service Practicum Program will not be made until late July, as we gain a better understanding of the restrictions and social distancing guidelines we will be facing during the fall and spring semesters. All information will come directly from Mr. Perry - the director of the Senior Service Practicum, to students by email or Moodle message. Separate communication will be sent to parents. 

VIRTUAL SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES: We are currently offering the following Virtual Service Opportunities for the Class of 2021. Students participating in these programs should be prepared for service to continue into the school year and the spring of 2021:

• Book Nook Virtual Tutors (Program full)
• United to Learn Video Teacher (Program full)
• International Pen Pals Program, Mexico (Program full)

SUMMER/FALL ON-SITE SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES:

A limited number of in-person service projects are tentatively scheduled to resume in July as conditions allow. Until then, all in-person service for the Class of 2021 is temporarily suspended. 

SERVICE SIGN UPS: All signups for service will be online through our Sign-Up Genius Portal. Only the projects listed online are approved for Jesuit service. 

For an accounting of your service hours contact Dr. Riemer directly. 

Update: Students who have received notice (via email) from Dr. Riemer that they have concluded their direct service for sophomore year must complete the end of year reflection. The link to the reflection is included in the email. 

SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS: Members of Brothers for Others and United to Lead have been given details regarding the completion of their Sophomore Service Experience. If you have questions or concerns about completing your service, contact Dr. Riemer directly.  

4 & 4 SERVICE: Sophomores who were scheduled to complete their service on the 4 & 4 Service Track will receive information from Dr. Riemer highlighting options for completing their service virtually during the months of May, June and July.

JUNIOR SERVICE EXPERIENCE (including summer service): The theme for the Junior Service Experience is “Practicing Christian Charity.” In line with that theme, we anticipate a significant number of charitable opportunities that will provide students options for hand-ons service and which do not conflict with federal, state, and local social distancing and other guidelines. We anticipate releasing tentative details of the Junior Service Experience in June. Until that time, all service for the Class of 2022 is temporarily suspended. 

Update: The requirement for the Freshman Service Experience has been modified eliminating the requirement to attend Freshman Service Days. Any student who completed two service projects and 5 social justice service workshops will receive information from Dr. Riemer about completing their end of year reflection.

SERVICE & JUSTICE WORKSHOPS: Students who did not complete their in-person Service & Justice Workshops will receive an email from Dr. Riemer. This email will contain a list of the workshops you need to complete and links to on-line learning modules. 

MAKE-UP SERVICE: Freshmen who were scheduled to complete their second service event during the months of March, April or May will receive information from Dr. Riemer at the end of May highlighting options for completing their service virtually during the months of June and July. If you have questions or concerns about completing your service, contact Dr. Riemer directly.  

SOPHOMORE SERVICE EXPERIENCE: The Sophomore Service Experience is two parts. 1) Direct Service, 2) Formation & Guidance. We are currently offering the following options for completing the Sophomore Service Experience. Options will be added throughout the summer months in order to accommodate all sophomores and as federal, state, and local restrictions allow. Because options are limited, students are only permitted to choose/apply for one:

• Ignatian Service Corps (applications closed) 
• 24/7 (Contact your counselor with questions about the application process)
• Book Nook Summer Virtual Tutors (12 spaces remaining)
• Brothers for Others (Application deadline: Wednesday, May 27)
• Elder Care/Assisted Living Pen Pal Program (program full)
• Holy Cross Virtual Summer Camp 2020 - volunteers are required to serve for one week (presented by United to Learn)
• United to Lead (Application deadline: Wednesday, May 27) 

To the students and families of the Class of 2024, welcome to Jesuit! We look forward to accompanying you through your formation in service and justice over the next 4 years. The Freshmen Service Experience for the 2020-2021 will consist of two parts: 1) direct service, 2) personal, intellectual and spiritual formation through our Freshman Service & Justice Workshop Series. Tentative plans are for freshmen to complete their formation component in the fall semester through a series of online workshops and small group discussions (either in person or virtually) with service to begin in the spring semester. More specific details of the revised Freshman Service Experience will be released in early August as we gain a clearer understanding of various federal, state, and local health restrictions. 

If students or parents have any questions about the Freshmen Service Experience, contact Dr. Riemer directly.
