Dear NJHS Members,
This is a follow-up to what I shared in the gym when I welcomed you to NJHS. As members, you are expected to uphold the five pillars of the National Junior Honor Society, and service is one of them. Part of this commitment includes completing 10 hours of service, but more importantly, it’s about engaging in meaningful work that challenges you to grow.
Service Guidelines
Service Guidelines
Off-Site Requirement: Your service project must take place outside of school. This ensures that you step into new environments and make a real-world impact.
Meaningful Engagement: Choose a project that serves a deeper purpose, particularly in areas like homelessness and hunger. The goal is to be the hands and feet of Christ—serving with compassion and purpose.
Step Outside Your Comfort Zone: Avoid the easy route. Choose an opportunity that challenges you and take the road less traveled, where your service will truly make a difference.
