Students In Action is a national youth volunteer leadership, recognition and reward program, designed to pass the tradition of service on to the next generation. Co-developed by Jefferson Awards for Public Service and Deloitte, it is now in over 250 High Schools. Each spring, Student Leaders from the participating schools compete in regional competitions. They are asked to report on the implementation of the program, and the impact they've had, both in their schools and within their communities.

At Herschel V. Jenkins, since our initial start, vast improvements have been made:
• We created a Students in Action team at the beginning of October 2009
• We implemented projects such as the NIH Recycling Project
• We attended and put into practice project strategies from Students in Action Leadership Conference held in Charleston, SC, during October 2009
• We developed a nomination process to recognize our peers who do outstanding volunteer work
• We partnered with two local civic organizations, the Southside Rotary and the Pilot Club of Chatham County, and we will partner with our school’s Future Educators Association in the Dictionary Project. We will distribute dictionaries to every third grade student at Juliette Low Elementary School.
