This document describes two community based programs for high school students--the School and Community Service Program and the Career Apprenticeship Program. The School and Community Service Program was developed to give students the opportunity for greater social commitment, responsibility, and increased self esteem. These students work either as teacher aides or outside the school in hospitals, orphanages, or with the handicapped. The Career Apprenticeship Program has as its aim the development of opportunities for students to explore careers which are of interest to them in the community. The document describes for both programs the type of work students might be involved in; the adviser's role; program evaluation; how the programs are related to learning that takes place in the rest of the school; and practical aspects such as funding, transportation, and training.
