SERVICE: A mission of the Cape Cod Home Learners Cooperative.
Since 2014 the Cape Cod Home Learners Cooperative have incorporated public service in our mission statement. Each year our group takes on a community service event or project that supports the educational themes in our programs. Beginning with 2014-15 school year our focus has been the core American values of individual rights and freedoms.
In September 2014 our CCHL studies began with early American Literature that deepened our understanding of the American dialogue on faith and human nature. It is this dialogue that allowed America’s founders to make provisions for the social, religious, and political freedoms that exist in our country today.
In November 2014, our CCHL community service project allowed our students to participate in the Plymouth Thanksgiving Celebration by creating a banner for the Food and Wine Festival. This banner—Land of the Free, Because of the Brave —as well as our table display—highlighted 12 people who participated in our national civil rights journey.
On Jan. 19, 2015 CCHL created a public display at the Sandwich Library to honor Martin Luther King who once said: "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?'"
February and March CCHL will answered Dr. King’s question locally by preparing and serving a meal for 150 needy people in Hyannis, MA
Our Co-op experiences ask the questions: “What is our role as students, adults, and citizens with regard to civil rights? How do we express and uphold the values that our nation was founded upon? How do we participate as individuals in the human experience? How do we honor, learn about, and respect the past in order to gain a greater understanding of civil rights today?”
It is my hope that our mission will lead students toward a greater understanding and appreciation of the rights we as Americans enjoy and instill a desire to help all people achieve social and economic equality.
