Below are our requirements for service. If our service options are limited, then we will adjust our requirements as needed.

• A total of 10 service projects are required each semester. Only 2 Service projects may be repeated. The only exception to that rule is fall/spring clean up/recycling. You may do both semesters which will count as 2 service projects.

• Of the 10 service projects, up to 6 projects can be "outside" projects. The remaining must be BCMS projects. For more info on "outside" service opportunities, please contact me.

• Members completing 20+ projects will receive a Service Award in addition to their NJHS certificate for going above and beyond their service requirements.

• Keep track of your service on the project sheet. It is recommend that you submit your service hours right away using the Google Form. Remember you will still need to keep a paper copy and have the contact person sign off on each service project.
