Service

We want to create a way for the entire Whitefield community to come together as a family and focus on “others ahead of self” as we start a new school year. There’s no better way to center our hearts and minds on Christ than to serve others!

Sign ups for the 2022 Great Day of Service will be announced soon!

When sign ups are open to the community, a sign up link is included above. The sign up will include details about what the project entails, age suggestion, and project capacity. 

We invite anyone who is a part of the Whitefield community to participate! This includes students, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, alumni, faculty, staff, and the list could go on!

As a school community it is our intention to dedicate this day to service; however, in some cases, previously scheduled athletic events cannot be changed. Special team projects for affected athletes and their families will be scheduled as needed.

We will have projects available for all ages and abilities, from PreK and up. Age appropriateness will be indicated for each project.

You may serve in any group arrangement you like! Some examples are: sports teams, moms, advisees, etc. You may also sign up to serve individually, it's really up to you!

Yes! Middle and Upper School students may earn community service hours on the Great Day of Service.  Please see the community service web page for details on how to document community service hours.

You will hear from your project captain with more details over the summer or prior to the event.

There will be a mix of opportunities on and off campus.

No. Everyone is responsible for their own transportation to the site.

Each project will have a rain plan, so plan to attend regardless of weather! More information will be available from your project captain if rain is in the forecast.

Most projects will last approximately three to four hours or whenever your project is finished. Some projects may be shorter (younger children) and some could last longer. Please check the times listed next to each project on the registration page for approximate durations.

Yes. Some Whitefield sports teams have planned to serve together as a team (not all). Some of those projects are listed on the SignUp Genius as FULL indicating the team who will serve. Please look carefully at the signup for your team. Not all team projects are listed on the signup. If you aren’t sure whether your team will serve together, please ask your coach or team parent.

Some teams may include family members on their projects and some may not. Please ask your coach or team parent prior to family members signing up for a different project.
