Why WE Service?

Taking part in AP with WE Service gives students the opportunity to build and demonstrate skills such as:

  • Critical thinking and analysis:
    Students complete a needs assessment of the problem, draw conclusions, and evaluate project impact.
  • Communication and collaboration:
    Students work collaboratively within teams and with community members to research, plan, and execute service projects by expressing opinions, clearly communicating ideas, and defending a position with evidence.
  • Civic engagement:
    Students build an understanding of their active role and ownership in solving today’s local and global problems and are motivated to be agents of change.
  • Leadership:
    Students perform a role within the project team to own their respective work and present results to community members to motivate further action.

Our Topic

Access to Education has been declared a "Universal Human Right" by the United Nations... but in reality many children have limited or no access.

  • Equal Access

    Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.

  • Tolerance & Respect

    Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.

  • Parental Choice

    Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.

The Service Learning Process

There are 4 stages to the Service Learning process designed by WE.org.

Investigate & Learn

Students explore issues related to a real-world challenge or opportunity within the context of their AP course.

Action Plan

Students develop a plan to implement their service learning project, including one local and one global action.
