DSC_3742_edited_edited_edited_edited.jpg

Every year Nativity students serve others as Jesus Christ served his community. Volunteering without compensation is an important part of spiritual growth and promotes a healthy community. Service should be a challenge and an opportunity to put on display our students' Catholic values in their communities.

Service Ideas

These are just a few ideas. Remember that the service hours must be provided to people not related to you. Also, money or goods may not be received for providing the service. If you have questions about whether or not a volunteer opportunity will count as service, please ask your teacher.

IMPORTANT: You must seek parent permission before volunteering service to a neighbor or agency. Parent supervision is recommended.
