Team Omicron
Team Omicron is the high school service team. Many service opportunities offered by the Omicron Service Society are once a year events, but students who join Team Omicron serve 3-4 times a week from November to January.
Members return weekly to familiar faces and learn more about the ongoing needs of both people and agencies through their committed service.
The team also learns service leadership through planning school-wide and high school service events. Students get to shape their experience and lead their peers while learning great project management skills through the events they plan.
