Service
At Wentworth, service learning and experiential learning go hand in hand, shaping students into socially responsible, engaged learners. Service learning is all about meaningful community involvement—helping students see the impact of their actions while fostering a strong sense of responsibility. Experiential learning, on the other hand, gives students the tools to dive into hands-on activities, reflect on their experiences, and grow from them. Together, these approaches bring Collingwood’s mission to life by inspiring young people to find purpose, develop resilience, and contribute to their communities. Rooted in our values of environmental stewardship, well-being, and inclusion, these learning experiences help students build confidence, think critically, and take action in ways that truly make a difference.
What is community service?
"No act of kindness is ever wasted." - Aesop
Volunteering time to community service projects is a meaningful way to connect our students and faculty socially, emotionally, and academically to our community and world. Community service projects also help students develop real-world skills that will help them succeed in life: leadership, problem-solving, collaboration with others, time management, and communication. Most importantly, students and faculty learn that the work they do can make a real impact in the world.
