This requirement may seem to just be something that fills up more of your free time, but community service at St. Margaret's is a wonderful and fulfilling experience. At St. Margaret's there are two different ways in which you can fulfill your community service requirement. Every weekend, there are community service trips similar to weekend activities.
Students go to nursing homes, soup kitchens, and elementary schools.
These activities are convenient for students because they are fun but do not require a long-term commitment. The second way you can fulfill your community service requirement, is to join one of the several ongoing service groups at St. Margaret's. Being a member of this group has taught me a lot about community service and has been a very satisfying experience. The St. Margaret's community has expanded in a lot of ways. The one area that has grown tremendously is the diversity aspect.
