帮助他人

The purpose of 中间部门 community service is to provide opportunities for students to learn about themselves and their community. The program cultivates a spirit of social responsibility and encourages students to contemplate and appreciate the rewards of a lifelong commitment to contributing to their community. Our ultimate goal as human beings should be to weave service into our daily routine and not as a separate act preformed solely to satisfy a requirement. 中间部门’s community service program is one that seeks to instill a sincere feeling of social responsibility and appreciation within our students.
