Service Requirements 

Each semester we require 15 service hours. 

However, due to recent state legislation, we will be amending this hour count for the Fall 2025 semester.

Please note that NO VIRTUAL SERVICE HOURS will count as service hours. It's time to start being more present in the Plano community!
