Summer Service Projects
This commitment to educate young people and to empower them to have a transformative influence on their own lives and on the greater community stems from our founder, Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat.
Goal 3: Schools of the Sacred Heart commit themselves to educate to a social awareness which impels to action.
Criteria 6: Sacred Heart Educators work to develop in the students a lifelong commitment to service.

For three decades, Summer of Service Programs have offered students in the Network of Sacred Heart Schools unique opportunities to experience Goal III. Each year, the variety of offerings for the Summer of Service Programs are designed by Sacred Heart educators in the Network of Sacred Heart Schools.
Sacred Heart educators are called to prepare students to serve the common good in an interdependent world. Network Summer of Service Programs for students, rooted in the Goals and Criteria, have particular emphasis on social awareness, commitment to service, peace and justice, faith and spiritual development.
Proposing a Summer of Service Offering
What starts as an idea at a school has the potential to turn into a wonderful Network-wide Summer of Service program! We encourage each school to propose a Summer of Service offering to create a variety of choices for our Sacred Hear students. Calls for proposals are sent out in the fall of each school year.
