Service Opportunities




Christian Service Hours Program:
- CORE service is characterized by giving service person-to-person to someone who is poor, vulnerable, or marginalized in the eyes of society. Examples of CORE service are:
- Service to the hungry and homeless
- Companionship for the elderly at homes for the poor
- Working with people with special needs
- Volunteering at the Boys & Girls Club
- SUPPORT service is work that assists in alleviating suffering in another without being done person-to-person. Examples of SUPPORT service are:
- Gathering supplies for a pregnancy care center
- Cross Catholic Outreach Boxes of Joy
- Making care packages for troops overseas
- Fundraisers for chronic and terminal diseases nonprofit organizations
- CHURCH AND SCHOOL service is done to support and enhance the mission of the school and church communities. Examples of CHURCH and SCHOOL service are:
- Volunteer at summer camp or bible camp for younger children
- Participate in club-sponsored service activities
- Volunteer at Open House
- Volunteer at church ministry event
Work done for family members, although constituting Christian service, does not qualify for the John Carroll High Christian School Service Program.
Service Requirements by Grade Level:
For each grade level, students are required to meet a base standard of hours in each category. However, it is the school’s sincere hope that students begin to see their Christian service as an extension of their personal faith lives and therefore exceed these base requirements. We challenge all students to find a personal passion for service and respond generously with their time and talents!
