Service
The Christian Service Program at Iona Prep stems from the Gospel command to serve others. All Iona Preparatory students perform volunteer service in a context in which the recipients of their service are people whose lifestyle indicates a genuine need for their time and talents. Iona Prep requires Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors to complete a minimum amount of community service. Freshmen are required to do a day of service, Sophomores 10 hours outside of school, Juniors 15 hours outside of school, and seniors 50 hours outside of school respectively.
