Community Service
High School Community Service
Like most schools, Logos requires students to complete community service hours prior to graduation. Community service is a key component to our program because it encourages students to have a positive impact on their community, learn to take responsibility, experience real-world working environments, acquire customer service skills, and develop a strong work ethic. All of this helps prepare the student for life after Logos.
Starting junior year, students are encouraged to find an organization of interest to them where they can earn community service hours. We recommend that students select an opportunity that offers them the ability to practice the social skills they are working on while at Logos. Therapists are available to help students think through possible opportunities that might be a good fit. Each student is responsible for arranging their interview, completing any necessary training the location requires, and obtaining verification of hours completed.
Middle School Community Service
Logos' middle school classes began working with Kiva 10 years ago. Kiva, founded in 2005, is a non-profit organization based in San Francisco whose goal is to help the 1.5 billion people who are unbanked and can’t access the financial services they need. Kiva's mission is to expand financial access to help underserved communities thrive, and they do this by crowdfunding loans. Through Kiva’s global work, students can pay tuition, women can start businesses, farmers are able to invest in equipment, and families can afford needed emergency care.
Logos is in the 98th percentile of lenders working with Kiva. Students raise money for the loans through community service activities such as making bracelets and key chains for donations. Loans are made in $25 increments and the middle school students help decide who receives the loans. Projects our students like to fund are usually ecological and education focused.
