The Skaggs' example of selflessness empowers the students of Juan Diego Catholic High School to become socially responsible individuals who answer the call to live with compassion, respect, reverence, and justice. Through this program, students are encouraged to engage in meaningful service activities that reflect these core values and make a positive impact on their community.
Underclassmen
Over the course of four years at Juan Diego, each student is asked to complete a significant number of service hours, which are required for a Juan Diego diploma. We encourage students to seek out direct service opportunities that serve the marginalized of our greater Salt Lake community, especially the poor, sick, hungry, elderly, developmentally or physically challenged, and youth.
Service should be performed without compensation, at a nonprofit, people-helping agency, or at an organization whose mission is to directly assist the disadvantaged, homeless, hungry, sick, developmentally or physically challenged, children, or elderly of our community, and whose mission would otherwise suffer without community support. Service completed in an educational setting or at a place of worship is also recommended.
Seniors
Seniors at Juan Diego Catholic High School participate in the award-winning Senior Service Project.
One week in January, seniors are not in classes and instead are performing 40 hours of service at one of 27 non-profit organizations around the Salt Lake Valley. The Senior Service Project seeks to not only serve the agencies profoundly but also aims to:
- Cultivate Values and Compassion: Deepen Christian values and develop deep care for those in need.
- Expand Perspectives: Broaden students' worldviews and understanding of diverse life situations.
- Encourage Self-Discovery: Promote personal growth and self-awareness in unfamiliar settings.
- Address Injustice: Positively impact conditions of suffering and injustice, recognizing personal gifts and limitations.
- Foster Solidarity and Generosity: Walk alongside others in mutual support, planting seeds of lifelong compassion and action.
