Community Service
Every member of the Greenwich Catholic School community is encouraged to live as a Disciple of Christ, serving all people by sharing the gifts and talents received from God. Consistent with this tenet and the GCS mission, students prepare for a life-long commitment to service and social responsibility. Here, a culture of service builds understanding and empathy so students can identify needs and affect positive change. Whether serving school, parish, local communities, or the world at large, GCS students fulfill not only a curricular requirement but also a call to make the world a better place.
Following are some of the initiatives and organizations that GCS students support:
