We Are The Service Club At
Glenbrook South High School
The true heart of service is when we can get beyond focusing
on a person's disparity and start to focus on their humanity.
on a person's disparity and start to focus on their humanity.
The Glenbrook South High School Key Club is all about one thing: service. We focus on volunteer opportunities that fit our motto of "Service Over Self". Meaning, we want to make sure the opportunities are more focused on those who need it rather than ourselves. There are many service opportunities that merely focus on patting ourselves on the back because we “gave up a couple hours” or it was something to brag about on social media. We as a club, want to get past that. We are always looking for ways we can get beyond charity and start focusing on liberty. Liberty means we establish programs and opportunities that better the lives of the people we help for the long run. We have events for all levels of volunteers in a variety of focuses, but our mission is the same. Not only do we want to make greater impacts on those less fortunate, but also we want to challenge our members to be uncomfortable. Because through intentional exposure to "discomfort", those things will soon become comfortable and thus the boundaries and perspectives of meaningful service expand. Our hope is that through our events, members are inspired to proactively participate in volunteer opportunities on their own and eventually make it a habit in their lives beyond their time at GBS. So join us as we challenge each other to redefine what "service" means in our lives!
