Mission: In order to promote academic excellence, personal and social development, civic responsibility, and community welfare, LAUSD Service-Learning Partnership will connect teachers and students to the resources they need to provide students with at least one high quality service-learning experience.
Vision: Each student will have at least one high quality service-learning experience at each grade span prior to high school graduation. "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." (Margaret Mead)
Our Why: The Service-Learning experience helps to increase students' sense of civic responsibility, meets a real need in the community (as defined by the community), is appropriate to the student's age or development, is well organized, and results in a valued outcome.
Due Date: This project is due December 11, 2026 for all Seniors.
Please wear Black and White Formal Attire or ECA Uniform.
