Burr and Burton Academy provides students with authentic and meaningful service experiences consistent with our school mission and requires students to participate in service work each year.

Freshmen and sophomores go “into the streets” for their service work. What this means is that a day in the fall semester is dedicated to freshmen–as an entire class–going out into the community in groups to complete a day of service, accompanied by faculty and staff members.

Likewise, sophomores do the same in the spring semester. Students are provided with a list of pre-arranged project options for the day,register in advance, and are transported to the work sites by the school.

Participation in this day of service to the community fulfills all service requirements for each year.

Juniors and seniors pursue service projects independently; students are provided with lists of nonprofit organizations seeking volunteers. In junior year and in senior year, students are expected to complete a minimum of 12.5 hours of service work–a total of 25 hours as upperclassmen with one of these organizations (or with another pre-approved organization) each year.
An end-of-project service reflection form must be completed in order to receive credit.
