I-CARE

I-CARE is a service learning program that provides opportunities for junior high students to volunteer during their study hall. Projects for local nonprofits are brought to school by the service learning coordinators. 

I-Care is typically offered one day per week at each junior high, alternating on orange and black days. Students do not miss any regularly scheduled classes or school events while participating.
