Community Service
The Menlo School Community Service Learning Program reinforces Menlo’s commitment to help students become ethical, responsible and engaged members of ever-wider communities and to develop a sense of commitment to purposes larger than themselves. The program exposes students to significant social issues and empowers them to solve problems and effect positive change.
In the Middle School, advocacy groups participate in a community service day each semester, working in local agencies that help the elderly, children, the homeless and the environment.
In the Upper School, students are given increasing responsibility to choose their own issues, agencies and projects to fulfill this educational requirement. A Community Service Coordinator oversees the program and helps students find community service opportunities. The Upper School also maintains a community service club.
