What is Fieldston’s CS requirement?
• TOTAL of sixty (60) hours of service accumulated during the academic year between freshman and senior year or 120 hours accumulated during the summer. The breakdown of the TOTAL hours occurs in two ways: • CORE Students are required to complete the majority of their community service learning commitment approximately 45 hours during school year/90 hours during summer by dedicating themselves and focusing on one distinct non-profit service agency or community issue. This helps students sustain a long lasting community commitment, build relationships, nurture leadership skills, and gain a comprehensive understanding of a particular social justice issue. • FILLER The remaining hours approximately 15 school year/30 summer can be earned via “filler” opportunities. These are one time or shorter service opportunities that allow students to explore a range of service work. “Filler” hours can be earned through opportunities at multiple agencies, events, or service areas.
