Over 250 students will be participating at 15 different locations totaling over 750 hours of volunteer time providing community service efforts on Dec. 7 during what Covington Latin says will become a semesterly Day of Service.

Partner organizations include: Be Concerned Covington and Erlanger branches, St. Joseph Heights, Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky, Welcome House, Ion Center for Violence Prevention, Brighton Center, the Salvation Army of Covington, Rose Garden Mission, DCCH, Victorian at Riverside, St. Vincent Depaul, Notre Dame Urban Education Center, the Parish Kitchen, and My Community Montessori.

Students will be spending time at partner organization locations serving neighbors in need after spending the morning in an educational presentation on the importance of service and the impact in the community.  Upon completion of the Day of Service, students will return to the classroom to discuss the experience.
