COMMUNITY SERVICE
CREDIT: ENRICHMENT, GR 9-12, ELECTIVE
Permission Required: Signature, Director of Community
Service.
The Community Service course is designed to give students an
awareness of needs in the broader Dayton community and an
experience of meeting those needs in a directed setting.
Students volunteer in the community on their own time. In
monthly seminars, students will be asked to reflect upon
their Christian and civic call to service through journal
work, classroom discussion and interaction with the
community leaders in the service field. This is an
enrichment course and therefore does not count toward
fulfilling the school's graduation requirements. Hours of
service and credit for this course are posted on the
student's transcript.

Students are
paired with a student at a designated elementary school.
Once a week (during period 11) students visit with their
Little Brother or Sister at the elementary school, serving
as a role model/mentor for younger children (Therefore,
students must have a period 11 study hall). As a group,
Chaminade-Julienne Big Brothers/Big Sisters students are
responsible for planning activities for the "Littles." In
addition to the weekly time with the elementary students,
one day a month is scheduled for planning activities with
the Director of Community Service and one day a month is
scheduled for supervision with the Big Brothers/Big Sisters
Caseworker. For program documentation, students are asked to
keep journals of their experience. Participation in this
unique program is noted on a student's transcript.

Enrollment is
limited. Students must complete an application in the Spring
of the sophomore or junior year. Interviews with Big
Brothers/Big Sisters will take place during the fourth
quarter. Students will be notified of their acceptance by
Big Brothers/Big Sisters by the end of the application year.
Please note: scheduling conflicts may not allow some
students who are accepted by Big Brothers/Big Sisters to
participate in the program.

first week of May. The month of September will devoted to
training and orientation for the Chaminade-Julienne Big
