Community Service
 | ’Even though they don’t have a lot, they’re still a lot
happier than most Americans, who have so much.
It makes you think that maybe material things
aren’t the most important things in life.’
–Waldorf student, volunteer at
Monte Cristi Orphanage, Dominican Republic |
Learning through service to others is integral to our mission to educate youth at Waldorf High School. Through a range of community service projects, our students work and develop their sense of the rewards of giving of oneself. They learn that their hearts and hands are able to make a difference in someone's life. They are given the opportunity to develop their idealism and put it into action in the real world.
Students are responsible for planning and enacting their own projects, spending at least 20 hours each year in service to others. Students have given their time to a diverse range of community needs and groups, including the Monte Cristi Orphanage in the Dominican Republic, a summer arts camp, a soccer team of ten-year-old girls, a homeless shelter, Habitat Sanctuary, and the Friends of India.
"All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you outght to be until I am what I ought to be."--Martin Luther King
