S.I.S.T.E.R.S. Program

Emmanuel College - MA, Massachusetts

Emmanuel College’s S.I.S.T.E.R.S. Program combines practical experience with spiritual and civic growth. Its title, as the acronym suggests, reflects the bond that their students develop as they participate in key areas:

    S- Service in the community
    I- Involvement in clubs, organizations and teams
    S- Spirituality by developing a relationship with God, a sense of meaning and personal peace
    T- Teamwork while serving in other Emmanuel programs
    E- Ethics by developing ethical principles and values
    R- Relationships as the students grow in independence and interdependence
    S- Skills that apply to life after graduation

    Students are required to demonstrate their understanding and accomplishments in these areas.
