Abu Dhabi International School > Act & Impact Program

Inspiring and empowering students to make a positive change in the world

At AIS, we believe that community service is an essential part of our student’s education. Through the AIS Act & Impact Community Service Program, our students have the opportunity to engage in a range of projects that foster compassion, tolerance, responsibility, integrity, and courage.

Whether it’s volunteering in a community initiative or organizing a fundraising event, our students learn about the challenges facing those around them and develop a sense of empathy and compassion for those in need.

Our Act & Impact Initiatives

Local community services

Our local community service projects focus on initiatives that address issues in the everyday lives of the students. Participating and volunteering in these services helps develop a sense of social responsibility and shows that even one person can make a difference.

Global service projects

Our global projects focus on issues such as education, healthcare, and sustainability in underprivileged areas around the world. Through partnerships with international non- profits and organizations, our students have the opportunity to engage in projects that address some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

Students at AIS are encouraged to perform acts of service voluntarily conducted at home, in school, or in the local or global community. They can log their community service in the Act & Impact Log, found in their Google Classroom and gather any evidence for each of their services. Be it individually or in groups, students can engage in many short and small community services, or they may choose to participate in a few or one large-scale initiative.
