Our Service-Learning Grade Days are designed for students to reflect upon their own service-learning experiences in high school, all while exploring service-learning through a critical social justice lens. The day offers students an opportunity to consider the historical and current inequities that appear in systems and policies. Students will engage in conversations, tours, and activities with HM’s long standing community partner agencies and alumni. 

2022-2023 Theme: Exploring Food Access, Justice, and Sovereignty with Community Partner Agencies.
