Service Projects
Community service is one of the best ways to give back to your community. It has a positive effect on society and benefits the lives and personal development of those performing the community service. Engaging in community service provides our scholars the opportunity to become active members of our community, acquire life skills, and see how volunteering can have a large impact on those less fortunate. Community service connects all of us and shows how our actions can make our community a better place for everyone to live in.
Each grade level at the Grande Innovation Academy will eventually be doing one service project per year. Once completed, you’ll be able to see the finished products and results right here!
Global Youth Service Day
April 25-27th, 2025
The Grand Innovation Academy participates in Global Youth Service Day. Global Youth Services Day has celebrated 36 years of youth changing the world! This is the longest-running annual youth participation event in the world and the only one that asks all youth ages 5-25 to work together for the common good while also recognizing the impact youth make on their communities every day of the year. We’re proud to be a part of this project. Check back for more information regarding how you can participate and donate to project our scholars pick as their way to make our community a better place in 2025.
