Reinforces the Benedictine Values of Hospitality, Stewardship, and Community
Service to the community is one of the Benedictine core values of Saint Gertrude High School, and the goal of our community service program is to inspire students to become empathetic, impactful leaders in the local and global community.

Community Service
Throughout the year, Saint Gertrude students take part in school-wide, and individual service initiatives that reflect the Benedictine values of hospitality, stewardship, and community.
As they complete the required 40 hours of community service, Gators are encouraged to engage with organizations that reflect their unique passions and talents.
Along the way, they gain not only real-world experience but also a sense of empathy and justice. By graduation, each student leaves with the courage to use her voice in service to and in support of others.
BSoR Day of Service
SGHS Sponsors collaborate with BCP's Sponsoring Officers to organize our annual Day of Service. In just one day, students, faculty, and staff spread out across the Richmond area to serve as many local organizations as possible. Past partners include Shood, Goochland Cares, Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Richmond Toolbank, Woodland Cemetery, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Rise Against Hunger, and more. This effort unites our schools in a shared mission to give back to the community.
