Opportunities for Service
St. Ambrose School offers various opportunities for students to provide service to their community, both at the local and global level. Students may perform service as a class in a project that takes place during school time, or as an outside activity that occurs on a weekend with full supervision and direction by teachers and staff. In addition, the students receiving the sacrament of Confirmation are required to perform a service project with their sponsors, outside of school time. Service opportunities may differ from year to year, and reflect the interests of the students and the needs of the community. All projects are in full compliance with Church teaching.
Examples of past projects include:
A car wash to support Back Stoppers.
The Heifer Project, which is a reading incentive program that raises funds to provide farm animals to poor villages in Third World Countries.
Assisting the St. Ambrose Vincent dePaul Society with the Angel Tree, which provides funds for utilty assistance for the poor and elderly.
Leadership roles for older students during special parish events, such as supervising younger students during the Christmas Concert.
