社区服务
Community service is woven into student life in a significant way at Berkeley Preparatory School. 事实上, we required community service well before it became a national trend—Berkeley students do more than 30,000 hours of community service each year. We have long held the notion that lessons learned in class are enriched by joining community efforts off campus.
Participating in community service gives students an opportunity to learn how to be good citizens and develop a sense of purpose. It’s not about logging hours; it’s about unleashing leadership qualities, 建立同理心, and stirring students’ 激情s to make the world a better place. As a result, many of our students’ community service hours far exceed the program requirements. Students at Berkeley learn firsthand how much more they receive when they give back to the community.
Some community service experiences are on or near campus (like volunteering at the 棋牌游戏大全 or 棋牌游戏平台食品储藏室 across the street), some involve visiting nonprofits in Tampa Bay (like the Humane Society of Tampa Bay), and others are international (such as trips to the Dominican Republic and the 巴哈马群岛).
