OTHER YOUTH PROGRAMS
Hudson High School Service Learning
Started in 1998, the Hudson High School Service Learning Program is a model for Ohio's Department of Education.
Service Learning is a unique course that combines the disciplines of Social Studies and English with an application in service to the community. It is through the volunteer work that students receive a "hands on" experience of what the academic component has been focusing on through in-depth research projects and real world experience. The volunteer site experience also gives students the rare opportunity to develop relationships with diverse professionals who further enhance their personal and education development. The course enables students to realize the need for volunteers locally, in neighboring communities and at a state and national level.
- "Best Service Learning Program" in Ohio in 2009
- Special Recognition from America's Promise Alliance
- Certifying Organization for The President's Volunteer Service Award
