This multifaceted program engages students in a variety of activities which provide an in-depth look at areas of interest, life skills, and the needs of their school and outside communities. The students play an active role in the decision-making and facilitation process of the program.
Students actively participate and are provided the vehicle for reflective thought and experience.
Group cooperation and personal growth are emphasized as significant aspects of service to one's community. Students participating in this program increase communication skills while developing a clearer sense of responsibility, citizenship, caring for others and self-worth. Two hours each week are spent doing work-service for the Foothills community. Students are divided into three groups. One, Campus Service, helps with maintenance inside and outside of the buildings as well as teaching life skills such as cooking, sewing, ironing, checkbook balancing, etc.
