Powers Catholic prides itself on the involvement of its students. The St. Gerard's Society is one of a myriad of student groups at Powers Catholic. "It's a student-run organization that tries to help protect the rights of unborn children," said Katie Fox, 12, the student leader of the St. Gerard's Society. It was started two years ago by Cara Tucker, Class of 2008, and Mary Petrides, Class of 2007. While this organization had a rocky start, it has been steadily growing in numbers. One activity the St. Gerard Society has been involved with this year was the Forty Days for Life, in partnership with St. Robert Bellarmine Parish. From September 21st to November 3rd, members participated through prayer, fasting and vigil. Another event for the group is Pro-Life week in April, which is the biggest event for the group. "We are just trying to be more visible this year," said Dana Bolle, the teacher advisor for the group. "It's been good.  

We ask the young leaders of Powers Catholic High School to join us in a global call to action and a global call to create change. We urge all of our students to work alongside the Chargers for Change as we address fundamental, universal issues. These core issues are at the heart of much of the suffering in our area. Chargers for Change strives to motivate students, spread awareness, fight injustice, and make a difference in the world.
 
Chargers for Change was responsible for raising over $3,500 last year, and those funds were used to contribute to end world hunger, feed an orphan in India for a month, give books to U.S. children in need, protect Africans from river blindness, supply clean water to a school in Tanzania, heat a class room in Afghanistan,  and help transport medical supplies to rural areas.
