Okemo Mountain School has long valued community involvement, outreach, and service by our student-athletes.  We have seen over the years many student-athletes who have dutifully committed themselves to helping the community at OMS and beyond.  We have formalized this aspect of our program by including a 5-hour community service requirement as a part of enrollment at OMS (10-hour requirement for Full Term student-athletes).

Why require community service hours?

Volunteering in our community reinforces our school values of community and respect. Additionally, there are many proven benefits to volunteering, including: increasing self-confidence, providing career experience and teaching valuable job skills, increasing happiness, and increasing social and relationship skills. Continuing our school involvement in the surrounding community is important to us.

L.E.S. Winter Sports Program

Coach local Ludlow Elementary school-aged kids through their Winter Sports Program. Starts on January 10, 2024 and occurs every Wednesday until March 1.

THIS OPPORTUNITY WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH ALL 5 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE.

The timing is 11:30 am - 3 pm and student-athletes can choose which day they want to volunteer. 

U14s would miss part of the afternoon of their long day. All other students would miss some of their classes (depending on the status of their work and if they are caught up to date). They would end training at 11 am, eat a quick lunch, and then meet Mariel at the upper drop off circle at 11:30 am. Mariel will transport them back to OMS when the groups are finished (~3:30 pm arrival to finish classes).
