The program begins in February and continues for 12 consecutive weeks. The ACTS Program will not be held during spring break. This area of service offers the sophomore the opportunity to be in touch with the elderly of our city and their needs. These facilities include retirement homes, nursing homes and adult day care centers. This area of work provides involvement with children from infancy to kindergarten age.
Most schools have positions for classroom assistants under the direction of a teacher.
This includes those who are not functioning at their mental age level as well as those with physical handicaps such as blindness, cerebral palsy and speech defects. There will also be a written and oral project due at the culmination of her service hours. All of these grades will be averaged with other work in her theology class for second semester. This Spring we have 237 students serving in 70 agencies in the Louisville area. For more information on the Sophomore ACTS Program, e-mail Ava Meagher .
