We Love Christ by Serving Others With Joy

John Carroll Christian Service Program


The John Carroll Christian Service Program encourages students to live their faith by serving others, caring for the environment, and discovering their personal calling.
 

Students complete two types of service:

  • Outreach: helping people and organizations in the community
  • Church/School: supporting school events, activities, and parish ministries

Outreach examples:

  • Visiting or assisting at nursing homes
  • Mentoring children or coaching youth sports
  • Volunteering with local nonprofits or service events

Church/School examples:

  • Helping at school events or activities
  • Assisting teachers, staff, or athletics
  • Serving in church ministries or school service drives

Service must be unpaid and cannot be done for family, friends, or businesses.
 

Requirements:

  • 100 total service hours before senior year midterms
  • At least 50 hours must be Outreach
  • Students are encouraged to complete about 25 hours each year

Students track their hours using x2VOL and must submit and verify them within 30 days. Seniors must complete all hours to participate in major senior activities.

At John Carroll, service is more than a requirement, it’s an opportunity to grow, serve with purpose, and make a difference.
