Community Service Learning

• Community Service Learning is an approach to teaching and learning in which students use academic knowledge and skills to address genuine community needs.
  As a way to help foster civic responsibility, Arkansas Act 237 requires students to complete 75 hours of approved community service learning over their high school career (grades 9-12).
  To qualify for the credit, students must:

  • Complete their service with a pre-approved school program and document their preparation, action, and reflection.

  • Have all required documentation
