GoPo Service-Learning Information

Every student is required to complete a service-learning project as part of their senior-level Government & Politics course. Through this project, students engage with their community to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential for living in a democracy and becoming a contributing member of society. Students have more than one pathway to complete the project, and volunteering with community agencies is one of the options for completion. Consult with your Government & Politics teacher for more information.
