SUMMER PROGRAMMING FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS! NHS SUMMER COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAMS TAKING ACTION BEYOND NEEDHAM MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY PERFORMING VALUABLE SERVICES FOR THE SELECTED NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, AND EARN ONE COMMUNITY CLASSROOM CREDIT IN THE PROCESS. In its fourth year, the NCE NHS Summer Community Service program sends teams of students and a faculty leader to participate in weeklong volunteer activities in Boston and Cambridge the weeks of 7/6, 7/13, and 7/20. Each program is approximately 6-7 hours a day, including travel time. Specific hours will be determined closer to the start date. The faculty leader will escort the team members to the volunteer site from a designated location, using public transportation and walking; and they will supervise the team throughout the day. The leader will also educate the volunteers on the mission of the organization and the cause it addresses. When time allows, each volunteer team may explore areas in and out of the city that relate to the volunteer placement. ART OF BUILDING COMMUNITY: Creating a Neighborhood Mural Dot Art: Little House School, Dorchester Ages: 15 and older Instructor: Heather Harris, NHS Counselor Participants will support and work along side Boston elementary school students to design and execute a large-scale mosaic piece that will become a permanent installation in Dorchester.

(The word “Dot” is a well-known nickname for the neighborhood of Dorchester in Boston.) The mission of Dot Art is to make exemplary visual arts education available to young children from Dorchester and the surrounding neighborhoods. To achieve its mission, Dot Art embraces the following three goals: 1. To empower individual children by enhancing their abilities to think visually and to practice creative problemsolving techniques 2.
