Community service credit will be given for voluntary activities that help others or are beneficial to the community.  Students are required to complete 30 hours of community service before they are eligible for graduation.  Students earn credit for hours spent participating in the actual activity, not for meeting and planning time.  Please note that participation in athletics, band and drama are not eligible for community service credit.

The following are examples of activities suitable for community service credit:

Children’s Centers Church

Recreation Centers Libraries

Local Government Voter Registration

Hospital or Clinic Red Cross

Senior Citizen Center Shut-in Visits

Big Brother/Big Sisters Summer Day Camps

Recreation Sports (Coaching, Officiating) 

Junior Fireman

Special Needs Programs (e.g., Special Olympics) Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts 

Community Mental Health Programs

Community Club Activities (Lions Club, Women’s Club)

This is not a complete list, other activities may be eligible. Credit is available for volunteer work only; it will not be given for activities where payment or school credit is earned. 

*If the activity is not through a school club, completed through our CAP Program or listed on this sheet, it MUST be pre-approved by an administrator or counselor.

Students are responsible for getting each sponsor to verify the time for each activity.  The sponsor will determine the number of hours earned by the student for that activity.  Students are responsible for tracking their hours in Track it Forward.
