Service Hours Opportunities

Service Hours Due Soon!

All students should be sure their service hours are submitted and verified in MobileServe by the deadline: Seniors’ hours are due by April 1st, and hours for Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors are due by May 1st. Please see the service hour requirements on the school website and the student handbook! Instructions for using MobileServe are included below, along with service opportunities. If you have any questions or need help, please email Mrs. Cooper or stop by the Campus Ministry office.

service hours expectations

All students are expected to complete 25 service hours during this academic year. Please see STVM’s requirement for Christian Service Hours in the STVM Course Catalog. Service hours are due in the spring, by April 1 for seniors or by May 1 for juniors, sophomores and freshmen. Seniors are expected to complete at least 20 of those hours off campus at local non-profit organizations or with other non-STVM related groups, and Juniors are expected to complete at least 15 hours off campus. Sophomores are expected to complete at least 10 hours off campus, and Freshmen are expected to complete at least 5 hours off campus. Hours must be logged in MobileServe and verified by a supervisor. Please follow these steps:

Log into MobileServe.com using your STVM/Google credentials. Freshman and transfer students will receive an email in their inbox from TeamMobileServe that will help them claim their account.
If it is your first time logging in (transfers and freshmen), the website will ask you for a School Code, but you can just "skip this" step.
Please enter a phone number in MobileServe as a way to verify your identity.
On the home screen, there is a big blue button that will lead you to a few questions about any service hours you do.
It is important that you provide an email address for the person supervising your service. MobileServe will ask you for that email as you log your service hours. The supervisor will then receive an email from MobileServe asking them to verify your service hours. As you log your hours, you should also be double checking your MobileServe account to make sure the hours have been verified.
We recommend entering your service hours as you complete them throughout the year so that supervisors will receive verification requests right after you complete your service, not months later when they may not recall the details. The whole process works best when supervisors can verify hours in a timely fashion.
We will be checking once service hours are due to confirm that each student’s service hours have been verified.

Please email or see Mrs. Cooper in the Campus Ministry Office if you have any questions.
