Freshman Requirements

Tutoring, Coaching & After-School Care (Grades K–8)

Freshmen are called to serve younger students by working directly (face-to-face) with children in grades K–8 through tutoring, coaching, mentoring, after-school programs, daycare programs, or enrichment activities. Acceptable sites include elementary and middle schools, public libraries, and approved nonprofit organizations.

Through these experiences, students are invited to build relationships with younger children, serve as positive role models, and support their growth, learning, and well-being. By accompanying younger students in their educational and personal development, freshmen begin to recognize the dignity of every person and the importance of contributing to a caring community.

Note: Babysitting, childcare for family members, or tutoring relatives, friends, or neighbors does not count toward this requirement.
