JAM

During the day, students and adult leaders perform volunteer service at various social service agencies. In the evening, participants engage in fellowship with peers, listen to guest speakers and participate in activities that encourage reflection on the service experience. Catholic social justice teaching is the focus of the program. 

• We work directly with the poor, elderly and disabled. You may be tutoring, serving meals, helping at a camp, working on a house, doing yard work, helping at a nursing home or performing another form of direct service. The following is a list of agencies we regularly partner with: 

1. The deadline to register for JAM is Friday, March 22, by 3 p.m. Google Forms will send a response receipt to the student's Hoban email address. 

2. Space for JAM is limited. Because we receive more applications than spots available, students from each grade will be randomly selected to attend JAM. JAM is NOT first come, first serve.  All applications received by the deadline will be placed in a lottery to fill the available spots. Not all students who apply will be able to participate in JAM due to space limitations. We cannot move students to another JAM session - if they are selected to attend they will be placed in the JAM session that was selected on their application.

3. Students are required to be at JAM from 8 a.m.-8:30 p.m. each day (4:30 p.m. on the final day of JAM). Students are required to participate in the entire JAM program. They may not leave JAM at any point for sports, work or appointments. DO NOT sign up if you cannot commit to attending the entire JAM program. 

4. Students selected to participate in JAM will be notified at the email address provided on the application. Please make sure you provide an email address you check regularly. All communication for JAM will take place via email.

5. If a student is selected to attend JAM, full payment and all forms must be submitted by Friday, April 19. If payment and forms are not received by then, the student will forfeit their spot in the JAM program.

6. Once paid, the JAM fee is non-refundable. Cancellations will not receive a refund.
