Community Service
Participating in community service is such a great way to learn about the world around you. It can lead to new discoveries of your strengths and interests, and, of course, it looks great on a college application!

Community Service Cord
Community Service Cord
Community service is highly beneficial for all students in many ways. Even though volunteering is rewarding in and of itself, students may earn a community service cord to be worn at the high school graduation ceremony.
The number of hours required to earn the service cord is 160 total hours.
Students may track their community service hours in TISD Student Link. Parents, this platform is for students. It is the student's responsibility to enter and track their hours.
Please note: this is not a requirement for graduation.
Before performing any community service, be sure to check the guidelines to ensure the activity would be considered community service.
In general community service should be done primarily to benefit others in the community at large or for a community based non-profit organization and should be something outside of the student’s normal course of action.

You may use these to track your hours. You can then take a picture and upload them to verify your hours in Student Link.

Some of the following information is being distributed as a community service.
Tomball ISD is not a sponsoring organization for many of these activities or opportunities.
Just Serve
The website is free and has lots of service opportunities listed for the Tomball area. You can check them out at www.justserve.org.
JustServe.org is a nation-wide website, and you can find opportunities near you because you search by zip code. You can also narrow down the search with other search criteria.
Be My Eyes is a free app that connects blind and low-vision people with sighted volunteers and company representatives for visual assistance through a live video call. Click HERE for more information.
