Service is a fundamental principle of the International Baccalaureate Programs, seeking to help in the development of young, caring members of our communities. IB challenges students within its programs to be active participants in the needs and opportunities of our local environments. Through service, we are helping students to broaden their understanding of community participation as well as their global role as unique and present individuals.

What is the IB Day of Service?

The IB Day of Service is a universal day in which all dedicated IB Schools in Arizona participate in service activities that help to support their specific community needs. EVERY school decides their own service activity/project(s) but we all do it on the same assigned day, helping to build one of the core principles of IB; Service in Action.

Examples of past IB Day of Service Activities/Projects:

1. Working at the local food bank

2. Tutoring younger children

3. Cleaning up trash in the park

4. Filling food bags for the community

5. Food & Hygiene Drives for Community members

6. Design and organization of a ‘Care Closet’ for campus community

7. Positive rock painting supporting Mental health awareness

8. Painting over graffiti in local parks

9. Cleaning a school campus

10. Working to support ‘cooling centers’ for the homeless
