All high school students enrolled at North Carolina Cyber Academy have to fulfill this requirement.
NCCA requires high school students to engage in 25 hours of community service each school year.
NCCA students can complete their community service hours locally, nationally and internationally.
The School Board at North Carolina Cyber Academy approved the community service requirement for graduation in August 2017. Our first graduating class and thereafter have met this requirement. It is a point of pride for our school!
This requirement supports the cultivation of civic literacy which is actively participating and initiating change in one’s community. Research has shown that engaging in community service can enhance a myriad of skills such as problem-solving, collaboration with others, time management, communication and leadership. Our students have shared in their logs that through their community service hours they have: 1. developed a richer perspective of the world they live in; 2. connected what they learned in school to the real world and 3. helped decide on a future career.
Ask yourself: How do you want your service hours to impact you? Find an experience that strengthens your weaknesses or further peaks your curiosity or challenges your thinking. Sky’s the limit!
*Before you begin serving, ask your parent/guardian for their approval of each experience you engage in.
