Goal of the Community Service Program
The community service program at Incarnate Word Academy was
established to provide students the opportunity to serve people in
their neighborhood, family, parish and church as well as the greater
metro area. The goal of the program is to inspire Women of the Word
to become advocates for peace and justice while working among
marginalized people in numerous settings. Students can utilize their
service experiences as they pursue college scholarships, career choices
and life commitments.

Our Commitment
Incarnate Word Academy is committed to the community service
program and encourages faculty and staff to volunteer and serve in the
surrounding community. Each junior receives a personal visit from a
faculty member during the nine days that she is on-site in May for her
service commitment. Each student is given a card where hours of
service are noted. Signatures from a supervisor are required. The
card is the only piece of information accepted for validation
of community service hours. Cards can be replaced for $5.00 each.
Cards are accepted in the campus ministry office.
