Grade Level Expectations
Learn, Lead, Serve
All students at each grade level are expected to engage in community service opportunities. Although service is the last part of our mission, it is still an essential part of your time at WYWLA.
Service Hours
Service Hours
Community service hour recommendations are considered a part of providing well-rounded educational experiences to all the students at WYWLA. As you learn, lead, and serve many of you will find yourself developing your core personality, friends for life, and possible future careers.
Not all volunteer experiences are the perfect match for you. Please choose age and ability appropriate opportunities to meet the recommendations.
