Service Opportunities

NOTE: At this time, all service hour requirements for 2020 have been waived. NO member is expected to earn or submit service hours until further notice.

Sign up for school & community events using Sign Up Genius!

Search for sign-ups with your email address (cywoodsnhs@gmail.com) to find service opportunities.

Remember you can earn hours for any volunteer work you do, not just events that you did with NHS. If you do hours for anything you may turn them in as long as they meet the criteria for service. All we ask is that you do not double dip on hours for a single event. (Example: If you volunteer at a Key Club event, please do not count the hours towards both Key Club and NHS; pick one for that event to count towards).

Reminders About Hours

  • Each Semester = 10 school hours + 10 community hours

  • For any hours not completed in the previous semester: 5 hour penalty + the unfinished hours

  • Hours from within CFISD, but not from Cy Woods, can count for a maximum of 5 school hours

  • Hours earned over the required 10 school and 10 community do not roll over to the next semester

  • You can check your hours using the links at the top of this page - if you have a question, see your officer

School Hours

The Cat Shack - Mrs. Hoover, our Academic Achievement Specialist, coordinates this program to tutor students during lunches one or two times a week. You will be expected to come to the Cat Shack every Tuesday and Thursday to tutor your assigned student.

Library Help (Repeatable Event)- Our librarians usually love some help in the library. If you need school service hours, please stop by and ask how you can assist them.

Teacher Help (Repeatable Event)- Your teachers can use your help - prepping the classroom for an activity the next day, organizing supplies, creating posters, etc. If you need school service hours, please stop by and ask any of your teachers how you can assist them. Don't forget about your teachers from freshmen or sophomore year!

Keep up with school events by checking the calendar periodically and by following us on Twitter & Remind101. Ask the officers for a current list of what's going on--we're constantly learning about new opportunities!

Community Hours

Cypress Assisstance Ministries (CAM) is located at 11202 Huffmeister, Houston, TX, 77065. Their phone number is 281-955-7684. CyWoods NHS is highly supportive of CAM and will always accept their volunteer hours as community hours. They can always put you in a place to volunteer.

Houston Food Bank- Drive down to the Houston Food Bank (535 Portwall Street, Houston, TX) and participate in one of the 4 Hour Shifts available every Saturday & Sunday. You will be rewarded one hour for your commute. Sign-Up at www.houstonfoodbank.org

Got something coming up with church, Boy Scouts, etc, and want some help? Let us know. We'll get the word out to our members the best we can. The earlier the notice the better!

If you are ever worried about hours, talk to an officer, Mrs. Rivard or Mrs. Williamson! We are always willing to help!
