About Service Learning

Community Service Hour Requirements:

High School - 25 Hours
Middle School - 10 Hours

Things to Consider:

Choose something you enjoy.
Document your time and get a signature while you are volunteering.
Remember parents and grandparents cannot sign off on service forms.
Turn your hours in as soon as they are complete to your adviser.
Keep a copy of your hours for yourself.
Think about your future and volunteer in areas that will give you insight into your future plans.
Keep a positive attitude!
Let your adviser or Mr. Nichols know if you are having trouble prior to the end of the year.
It is a good plan to complete as many hours as possible during the summer.

Where Can I Volunteer?

There are many places in the community to volunteer. Before you decide where to go, ask yourself "What do I enjoy?", "Is there something for which I am passionate?", "Am I already volunteering somewhere?", "Is there a volunteer opportunity that will be of assistance in the college application process or in my future career?". If you cannot find a place to volunteer, visit Mr. Nichols and he will help you brainstorm.

These are just a few ideas, you will need to contact these places before volunteering:
