Summer Camps
The following is a list of organizations where Jesuit students have completed service in the past. They meet school criteria for core service: projects where students are significantly engaged with people experiencing hunger, homelessness, poverty, physical or developmental disability, isolation due to old age or illness, or projects that promote environmental justice.
Please note this list is for guidance and information only, these organizations are not affiliated with Jesuit High School and therefore we have not vetted the organization or their employees, nor will a JHS employee be onsite. Arrangements take place directly between the student and the organization.
A student interested in serving at an agency not listed below should complete the site proposal form available in Google Classroom.
