Academics — Service Learning
Service Learning
Every Storm King student pledges 20 hours of community service per year — connecting classroom learning to positive change in the world.
No. 01 — The Commitment
Twenty hours, countless connections.
Every SKS student pledges to complete 20 hours of community service per year. This academic requirement provides an extraordinary opportunity for students to connect their classroom learning to their ability to create positive change in the world; thus, empowering them in their own educational journeys.
Community service opportunities are delivered through the Student Life Office, with projects across the Hudson Valley that put students to work on real needs — from trail conservation and food security to housing and animal welfare.
