Volunteer sign ups went live before Spring Break and slots are first-come, first-served. Volunteering as a family is a great way to bond, so be sure to consider serving together! Students in grades 7/8 will receive  a student credit for each shift worked, which will be applied to their grade level for the spirit competition. They will also earn service hours. Grab a friend and serve together! You'll be creating memories for lots of younger students! Sign up here for your volunteer time, then Click on the Volunteer Sign Up Online.

Understanding Grade 9-12 Service Hour Requirements: Service Immersions

Inclusive to the 120 hours of community service required for graduation, students are to complete two service immersion experiences, one of which must be a CHCA Upper School 9-12 Service Immersion. Service immersions are extended service-learning experiences in marginalized communities, and are most often associated with trips. On a service immersion, students not only participate in daily volunteer work, but they also participate in intentional living and learning experiences which build community, promote social justice, and spiritual growth. Students are to complete one service immersion project by the end of their sophomore year and a second by the end of the first semester of their senior year. Non-CHCA service immersions must be pre-approved by the Outreach/SOS office. We offer several experiences that are no cost.  Students who attend CHCA for their senior year only are not required to complete a service immersion. Students who attend for 2 ½ years or more are required to complete 2 service immersions. More information about community service requirements can be found here.
