Greatest Good McDonogh teaches students in all grades the best practices in service-learning, philanthropy, community engagement, and social innovation through integrated coursework and experiential learning. The program is designed to inspire students to find their purpose, grow their empathy, and realize their power and potential to do the greatest good in the world. As a result of the program, the focus of our service efforts has shifted from hours to outcomes, from one-way partnerships to reciprocal relationships, and from transactional to transformational experiences.
Announced in December 2019 and modeled after the Do Good Institute at the University of Maryland, Greatest Good McDonogh aligns with LifeReady, the School’s framework for learning. The program was founded with an endowed commitment and partnership supported by David Rothschild ’82 and the Rothschild Foundations—which are committed to advancing educational initiatives that inspire philanthropic and social engagement.
