Community life is an important part of the learning experience at Brewster and Brewster’s idea of community extends outside the classroom and even beyond campus. Meet some students (a driver, a dancer, recyclers) who are involved with projects helping the Wolfeboro community.

Our community service program offers you many opportunities to use your skills and talents to benefit those who need them the most and, in the process, to develop leadership, time management, organizational and other skills that will benefit you in college and in life. It is also a great way to explore possible career options while gaining practical experience, developing professional-level skills and contacts, and practicing the information you have learned in the classroom.

Each year, every Brewster student volunteers his or her time and service to both the greater community (global service) and the Brewster campus community (Brewster community service). Freshmen and sophomores perform 10 hours of service per year, while juniors, seniors, and postgraduate students perform 15 hours per year. And the possibilities for service are limited only by your imagination.

For example, you might:

• Support organizations such as Habitat for Humanity; travel to Boston to prepare and serve meals for the needy, or help raise funds for worthy causes
• Adopt a highway, help clean up roadways around Wolfeboro, or create and build bicycling and skiing trails
• Organize a school dance and serve as a DJ, create artwork for the Student Center, serve as a tour guide for campus visitors, or teach a class that utilizes your special talents
• Mentor children at a local daycare center, help reconstruct playground equipment, or work with young athletes at sports clinics in the area
