Christian Service and Involvement Program
The Christian Service and Involvement Program (AJHS-CSIP) is the social involvement and formation program of the Ateneo de Manila Junior High School. It aims to form young men who have compassion for the poor, marginalized, vulnerable, and the needy in the society. It allows students to nurture their commitment to nation-building and to eradicate poverty.
Despite the absence of actual off-campus experiences this school year, the program will continue its legacy and uphold its goal of nurturing students’ Filipino and Christian identity. While the actual experience of off-campus activities may not be possible because of the pandemic, the essential experiential learning should remain and continue through the classroom sessions and alternative instructional materials curated for online learning.
For this school year, students will have five synchronous classroom sessions that will be conducted during the scheduled Non-Academic Consultation time and another five CSIP sessions during Wellness Wednesday that will be dedicated to other activities.
Students are required to do different activities incorporated in the modules and then submit journal entries and a reflection-action paper.
Classes will also actively participate in the Social Involvement Program in Action (SIPA) to complete the school year's CSIP requirements. SIPA provides students an opportunity to be engaged with their respective partners in the community through the letter cycle drive and to live out being persons for and with others by providing any assistance for them.
Each grade level's CSIP activities will carry the following themes:
Grade 7 - Dungaw Exposure focusing on "awareness."
Grade 8 - Danas Ecological Engagement focusing on "environment."
Grade 9 - Dama Christian Service focusing on "service through teaching."
Grade 10 - Damay Immersion focusing on "family and society."

Damay is the culmination of all the social involvement programs in the Junior High School. The word Damay means “to sympathize” or “to be involved.” The program aims to nurture the students’ compassion and empathy toward others. The students are given the opportunity to experience a life of simplicity and live in solidarity with their foster family for a weekend, where they eat what their foster family eats, sleep where their foster family sleeps, and do what their foster family does on a day-to-day basis.
