Community Service Form
-You will need to complete 40 hours of community service to graduate with the appropriate credits. Please print and fill out form, and return to the registrar's office upon completion of community service.
Community service is important for many reasons. You are giving back to your community, and service is an important part of making our community whole. In addition, colleges and jobs look at your experiences as a part of you being a well-rounded student.
Opportunities are listed below, but this is not an exhaustive list. Please try to spend your time serving in an area you are passionate about or even curious about. Thinking about working with animals? Volunteer at the animal shelter. What about working with kids? You can try to volunteer your time at an after-school program.
Let your counselor know if you have any questions!
