  • Community Outreach Leadership (COL)

    This class will train, equip, and provide opportunities for students to spread the love of Jesus to students at a local elementary school. COL students will be involved with regular off-campus outreach activities during regular school hours. COL students will serve as Teacher Assistant to a Los Arboles Teacher for part of their time. In this role, the students will help Los Arboles first through third grade students with reading, math, or other assignments. COL students will then transition to serve in the afterschool program directed by a Catholic Charities organization called CORAL.  For CORAL, COL students will be in charge of a class of 20 students. COL responsibilities include one-on-one academic mentoring, organizing game activities, creating a STEM science experiment, celebrating holidays, and building influential relationships with a set group of students.
    Community Outreach Leadership students will also serve the VCJH student body through the WEB program.  COL students will be trained as WEB leaders before the new school year to mentor incoming sixth grade students. 

    Application Required. This elective is open to returning seventh or eighth grade students only. Students will be off campus twice a week. Students will need to be available in the summer to meet for training on campus. Placement in this class is by teacher approval.
