GW's 7th Grade Service Learning Project is provided to connect our students with the community and the world through acts of service.  By participating, students bond with their classmates, discover new interests and abilities, learn to work collaboratively, take on leadership roles, and learn the value and benefits of helping others.

Each GWMS 7th Grader is required to fulfill ten hours of service learning throughout the year, though students often complete many more. Students may choose from one of the organizations listed on the website, or any other not-for-profit organization. You will receive a monthly Service Learning Newsletter with upcoming events and opportunities. Students are also encouraged to follow their interests and seek opportunities that are not listed.  These may be opportunities presented through elementary school events, religious organizations, scouting, athletics, and personal connections.  The best Service Learning opportunity is the one that students will do to long after their ten hours have been completed.

After participating in any service, students should complete the Google Form.  Please be aware, these hours will not be visible in Skyward, so students should retain a copy of the completed Google Form for their records.  Students must log their own hours from their school accounts.
