COMMUNITY SERVICE
The Community Service Program is an afternoon activity offered during the fall and spring semesters that students may select in lieu of an athletics or arts program. Guided by the School's Motto: Pro Vita Non Pro Schola Discimus "Learning—not just for school but for life," the program is student-led and therefore all participating students will identify and lead projects that they feel passionate about in our immediate or greater community.
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Berkshire Community Service program is to support our local and broader community by working together and giving aid to causes that we feel passionate about, following our core values by providing assistance, and promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion.
