Community Service
​
The School's Community Service Program encourages all Franstech to connect with the greater community, giving them the opportunity to engage with a variety of people outside the students' immediate world. Because we want students to have a common service experience that enhances their Franstech education and builds community within and beyond the gates, the Community Service graduation requirement is not based on a certain number of hours that a student must complete. Instead, students participate in three different types of community engagement.
​
-
Franstech Community Action Project.
-
Annual participation in the School’s All Community Clean up Service
-
One-time events (All-School, House, club or team sponsored) - 1-3 times before school vacate for holidays.
​
Students may choose from over 13 different weekly projects in the Akim Oda, Jamaika- Franstech area. Typically, students do these projects during the evening or on Sunday afternoons if they are playing a School sport, or on a Wednesday or Friday afternoon if they are involved in House or lifetime athletics.
​
Weekly Community Service Projects:
-
Helping with homework and recreational activities in local after school programs
-
Playing with preschoolers from underserved communities
-
Teaching computer skills to senior citizens
-
Teaching children to ice skate on our rink or play golf on our golf course
-
Teaching adults with developmental delays to play tennis on our courts
-
Coordinating on campus weekly activities for elementary school children
-
Helping with activities at a day program for adults with disabilities
-
Knitting with adults at a senior center
Students also sometimes develop their own weekly projects based on their interests and talents. Past student-initiated projects include on-campus squash, dance, chess and art programs for children.
​
Under the leadership of the Community Service Representative to the Student Council, the Community Service Council (composed of students who take a leadership role in community service) is responsible for organizing projects and for keeping the Houses informed about community service matters.
