Freshman Service Program
Freshman Service Program
One key component of SLUH’s mission, as a Catholic, Jesuit school, is to create young men who are dedicated to service with the poor and underprivileged. The Freshmen Service Program introduces students to two different types of service offered through SLUH.
Each freshman will participate in two service afternoons – one each semester. These service afternoons will not conflict with the school day. They will begin right after school, and if serving at a shelter, each freshman will be provided dinner. Students should be picked up at SLUH at the appropriate time on his assigned day.
Each freshmen will spend one afternoon at a shelter making and serving meals to the homeless and a second afternoon at a Nursing Home visiting and playing games with the elderly. Students are assigned in groups of 5 or 6 with a faculty leader. The group is driven by the moderator in a SLUH van or walks the short distance to the site.
It is our hope that after an introduction to SLUH’s service opportunities, students will continue to serve the St. Louis community and beyond through SLUH’s voluntary service program.
