The school year is well underway and the Class of 2016 has just hit the streets of Cleveland for its first week of Sophomore Service. Lead by Mr. McLaughlin ‘85, the Sophomore Service program has been a great example of what our schools stands for. Students, including myself, have now started spending 2 ½ hours each week at locations such as the Cleveland Food Bank, Dunbar Elementary School, and Metro Hospital.
After having completed one week of Sophomore Service, I can already tell how much this program means to people. I was nervous about meeting strange new people, but I saw how thankful and welcoming people were after I met them. The generous volunteers at the West Side Catholic Center were thrilled to have more volunteers and made us feel welcome right away. It was very evident how much this program means to people.
