Most schools provide opportunities for their students to gain the experience of helping others.
Blood drives, community clean up days, Oxfam and Toys for Tots are examples of what happens at Tilton and many other schools. But a single, one-time effort doesn't truly provide the experience of sustained service. Tilton students are involved annually in one or two of the large number of off-campus programs sponsored by the school. Sustained work in a veterans home, youth center or soup kitchen throughout the academic year is where the real lessons and benefits of community service are discovered.
