To volunteer means to give your time and effort to help others or your community without expecting payment. Volunteering can include helping at shelters, tutoring younger students, cleaning up parks, or supporting local events and causes. Drew Charter requires students to complete 100 hours of volunteering because it helps build a sense of responsibility, empathy, and leadership. By volunteering, students learn the value of giving back, understand different perspectives, and develop real-world skills that go beyond the classroom. It also prepares students to be active, caring citizens, and shows colleges and future employers that they are committed to making a difference in their community.
Lekotek Fun Run
Volunteering as a water station helper at the Lekotek Run is a meaningful way to support children with disabilities and their families. The Lekotek Run, held annually at Brook Run Park in Dunwoody, Georgia, is a family-friendly event featuring a 5K race, a wheelchair division, and a 1-mile fun run. The Lekotek Run promotes inclusion and empowerment through play, aligning with Lekotek of Georgia's mission to facilitate the inclusion of children with disabilities into their families, schools, and communities.

At drew, we completed 2 service projects and 2 community forums. it encourages students to give back to their communities, develop leadership skills, and stay on track to meet graduation service requirements.
