WE Schools is a series of programs designed to bring service-learning to your school. No matter what you’re interested in, we have a program that will easily integrate into your day-to-day routine, whether that’s in the classroom or out.

AP® with WE Service is a unique program that engages students with service-learning activities to strengthen their understanding of AP® course content and skills.

Available: In all AP®courses

By providing educational resources, sample service actions, yearlong support and partnerships like this one with the College Board, we can observe and measure the increased academic engagement of students who participate in WE Schools programming. One educator, who has been teaching AP Environmental Science for eight years, commented:

“AP Environmental Science with WE Service is a perfect fit … adding a service component to the curriculum does for students what all teachers hope to achieve—they become more engaged and compassionate, and they come to care tremendously about what they’re learning, I think, at a higher level than they would without it.” — Aaron Baker, Educator
