Community & Social
Responsibility
The
Community and Social Responsibility Program at ASB supports our Mission by
providing students the opportunity to learn about their communities, serve
others in those communities, and learn from those experiences. Service has a
long tradition at ASB, as students throughout the school’s history have learned
an ASB core value: “Embracing our interdependence is vital for community to
flourish.” It is also our hope that students at all levels of the school learn
that serving others fosters their own individual growth and civic
responsibility.
Beginning
in the elementary school, students participate with their classmates in
community-oriented activities. Throughout the year, classes engage in
expeditions for enrichment that connect them with community organizations. Middle
and high school students connect individually and through all-class experiences
with more than twenty community organizations – Akanksha, Welfare for Stray
Dogs, Aseema, Children’s Movement for Civic Awareness, CERE, Habitat for
Humanity, Save the Children India, Salaam Balak, and Help Age, among many
others.
Our service programs
reinforce ASB’s commitment to community and interdependence. We value our role
as a member of the community of Mumbai and seek to enhance the lives of others
through our collective initiative, programs, and resources.
