Service is an essential component of the Christian life. It is a way that we live out Jesus’ command to love our neighbors as ourselves. It is also an integral part of our school’s Marianist and Ursuline charisms.
The Ursuline Core Value of Service and Social Consciousness and the Marianist Characteristic of Educating for Service, Justice and Peace influence VASJ's strong emphasis on service.
Each grade level at VASJ is required to complete service hours and projects. Many VASJ students go above and beyond the service requirements.
Freshmen must complete, at minimum, one community service project that has been organized by the VASJ Campus Ministry department.
Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors must complete, at minimum, 25 hours of community service each school year. Students must have 12.5 hours completed by the end of Semester 1. Students may complete hours early. Students may complete a portion or all of their service during the summer before the school year begins. See the student service attendance sheet for more information on deadlines.
