Service Hours Opportunities

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 15 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 five 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.
