"As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace." - 1Peter 4:10
Requirements
In an effort to promote the prayerful spirit of service, Vandebilt Catholic requires each student in grades 9-12th to complete a total of 20 service hours and 15 hours for 8th graders each school year. The total hours must represent each of the following categories:
- VCH Service Day - a service day sponsored by Vandebilt Catholic (work off-site or work with a charity organization with the Religion Dept, club, team, etc)
- VCH Campus - work days on VCH campus to facilitate ownership and pride in our school (ex. kiddie camps, Mothers’ Club, clean-up/set-up, etc)
- Other Community Service - service to the community through non-profit organizations or approved service sites (completed independently)
No more than half of the total hours can be earned at school. The service day and work day must be supervised by VCH faculty or staff. All hours earned count towards the total hour requirement. There is a one hour minimum for each category. Opportunities for service will be announced on the VCH Parent Information Hub as they are made available.
Please direct all questions or approval requests to Caroline Luke, Director of Campus Ministry at cluke@htdicoese.org or Erin Wagner, Campus Ministry Service Coordinator at ewagner@htdiocese.org.
