Summer Service Projects
Simple Living, Positive and Open Attitude
For three decades, the Summer Service Projects have offered students in the Network of Sacred Heart Schools the opportunity to live Goal III in a very special way. This has consistently made a significant impact on the lives of all who have been involved as well as the school communities to which the students return. Each year we are proud to offer a variety of Network Summer Service Projects for our students. And, each year, we are grateful to the adults who serve alongside them.
As we have negotiated the challenges of Covid-19, some of last year's projects were able to become virtual. Two of the coming years projects are intended to be virtual while others have the option to be virtual. (Some will only be successful in person.) We will continue to monitor the situation in the coming months and strive to have as many projects as possible take place this summer.
This year's 11 projects - dates, descriptions, and locations - are listed in the flyer posted below.
We thank Jane Steinfels (jane.steinfels@shschicago.org) and Christie Crandall (christine.crandall@shschicago.org) from Sheridan Road who are coordinating these projects. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to them.
