As a component of Core 150 (part of Whitworth’s Core program, which every Whitworth student is required to complete), each student is required to do a community service project of his/her own choosing or through the course coordinator, and to write a short paper detailing the type of service, telling about the project, and describing the impact of the project upon the student. Projects range from serving soup at a men’s shelter to cleaning up yards for disabled people to caring for small children at a low-income housing project. Many of the students return again and again, after their Core 150 semester has ended, to offer their services at local nursing homes, at Habitat for Humanity, at the previously mentioned venues, and at other locales where their assistance is welcomed.
