A Word on Community Service
Part of our mission at Whitefield is to cultivate a passion for others ahead of self. Jesus teaches that the greatest commandment is to love God with all of who we are, and to love our neighbors as we do ourselves. When asked for clarification, Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan. This simple story delivers a clear and compelling message: Our neighbor is anyone in need from any community. The Community Service program at Whitefield seeks to expose students to various forms of need in our society and to encourage them to give sacrificially.

Aside from our annual Thanksgiving Baskets, Operation Christmas Child, and clothing and food drives, each month the Upper School takes a Saturday service trip to a local ministry such as Project Open Hand, Hands On Atlanta, the Bible League Thrift Store, retirement homes, or other Atlanta area ministries. Students are eagerly encouraged to seek out their own opportunities to serve through churches and youth groups. In fact, at least five of the fifteen required service hours must be completed off campus. Approval forms may be downloaded here. Please see Mrs. Leigh Woods in M-605 if you have any questions or contact her at .

We firmly believe in the importance of cultivating a tender heart; confident that if we succeed, our graduates will shock this ‘me’-oriented society with the depth of their concern for the needy and their commitment to finding short and long term solutions.


Middle School Community Service Policy
As a minimum standard, each Middle School student must complete 10 hours of community service per school year. At least 5 hours of service must be off campus. Final report cards will indicate a grade of Complete or Incomplete for community service. Students receiving an incomplete must complete the community service requirement before advancing to the next grade. Any community service not sponsored by Whitefield must be approved in advance. Approval forms may be downloaded here. Please see Mrs. Leigh Woods in M-605 if you have any questions or contact her at .

Upper School Community Service Policy
As a minimum standard, each Upper School student must complete 15 hours of community service per school year. At least 10 hours of service must be off campus. All community service must be completed by exams or the student will not be permitted to take his or her exams. Any community service not sponsored by Whitefield must be approved in advance. Approval forms may be downloaded here. Please see Mrs. Leigh Woods in M-605 if you have any questions or contact her at .
