Junior Requirements

 

Serving the Socioeconomically Disadvantaged

Juniors are called to serve individuals and families experiencing poverty or economic hardship. Through direct service at organizations such as soup kitchens, shelters, food pantries, emergency assistance programs, and community resource centers, students encounter people whose access to basic necessities and opportunities may be limited by social and economic circumstances.

Service activities may include preparing and serving meals, distributing food, clothing, or essential supplies, assisting with childcare or educational programs, supporting ESL classes, helping with job-readiness programs, and other direct service opportunities. Through these experiences, students are invited to encounter Christ in others, affirm the dignity of every person, deepen their understanding of social and economic challenges, and reflect on their responsibility to contribute to the common good.
