Service
Each Blanchet high school
student is required to volunteer at least 20 hours per year. Mid high
students volunteer at least ten hours per year. We believe service is an important
component of a Catholic education and helps youth develop life-long
sensitivities to improving the welfare of others. Blanchet students donate
over 6,000 hours of service each year to school, civic and church
organizations in the greater Salem area. Each class is assigned a particular
service theme, such as poverty, the elderly or the environment. Blanchet's service program is
organized through its Religion Department. Contact Campus Minister
Danielle Wise for
further information.
2007-2008 Service Guidelines
Friends of Benedictine
Students who belong to the Friends of Benedictine service
club visit nursing home residents twice a month during school hours.
Membership is by application only and the club forms each year shortly after
the beginning of the school year. Students work together to plan activities
and programs for the residents and must complete an end-of-the-year project
as part of their club requirement. Twenty-five students currently visit residents at the
Providence-Benedictine Nursing Center in Mt. Angel.
