VCHS Service Learning classes are designed for students to practice leadership skills and a servant mentality as they connect with on campus opportunities for service.  Specifically, the Service Learning: Mentoring course offers leadership growth practice in assisting faculty members, mentoring fellow students through peer tutoring and mentoring freshmen through mentorship groups.  Biblical principles guide the motivation and the leadership lessons such that students understand and live out God’s desire to notice and take action on behalf of their neighbors.

Additional Expectations:  To receive the 15 hours of community service available in this course, students are required to participate in a minimum number of service activities. There are a variety of events (both ongoing and one-time events) throughout the year so students have some option as to which events work best for their schedules.  If this requirement is not met, students do not receive the 15 hours. Please note VCHS requires a minimum of 10 hours of community service to be completed with a Christian church each year.

Special Note: This course is a Bible department Service Learning course.  Students will need to take one Philosophy of Religion/World Religions course and one service learning course before graduation.  Students are placed in different service courses after completing a feedback form that helps determine the best fit for their unique service experience.  Please refer to the Bible department map tab for more information.
