Network Summer Service Projects

Every year, the Network of Sacred Heart Schools offers Middle and Upper School students various opportunities for service and social justice education during the summer. Students are welcome to apply to participate in a network summer service project. 

In addition to serving the poor and marginalized, it is hoped that students experience a personal transformation by living in a communal setting, practicing simple living, and maintaining a positive and open attitude. One of the great benefits of each service project is the opportunity to develop new friendships with students from across the country who come from a variety of ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
 
Questions about the Network Summer Service Projects may be directed to Dr. Potter at x4757. For more information visit the Network website.
