IN THE COMMUNITY
COME SEE THE DIFFERENCE
LEADING BY EXAMPLE
FOR OUR community
Beginning in kindergarten, Woodlawn students advocate for a specific local or global cause that is interwoven throughout their year-long course of study. Rather than fulfilling a required number of hours, our students spend the year understanding and gaining the perspective of their service partner.
