At First Sight/InSight feels strongly that our role as musicians is not to please ourselves, but to bring joy and blessing to people outside our normal sphere of influence. We firmly believe that the Giver blessed us with unique, creative abilities not for our benefit alone, but for the joy of others. Because of this, we encourage students to look outside their normal paths of life and find ways to serve and improve their communities throughout the year. |

Each student who dedicates time and effort to his or her community can receive a tuition reduction of up to $25. This can be earned in a variety of ways, from helping clean up local parks and riverways, to serving food at a community soup kitchen, to giving a free concert at an assisted living center.
The only stipulations are:
- the student receives no monetary reward for the service
- the beneficiary must not be a member of the student’s immediate family (parents and siblings).
- the service event must be documented, and signed by both a parent and a non-related adult (teacher, pastor, group leader, etc).
The amount of tuition credit will be assigned at the discretion of the AFS director, and will be based on the amount of time and personal involvement the student spent on the community service event. Students may submit more than one service event each year. A submission form is available on the Application and Tuition page.
OutLook submissions are due at the time of application. No submissions received after May 2, 2011, will be credited. |
