COMMUNITY SERVICE Hours

Beginning with future graduating classes, students are asked to complete 10 volunteer community service hours each school year as part of graduation readiness.

Find Volunteer Opportunities

Students may volunteer with any approved local nonprofit, school, church, civic, or community organization. A great starting point is the Volunteer Opportunities spreadsheet and links available below. Hours do not count if they are:

• Court-ordered community service

• Paid employment

• Required for participation on a team or as part of a class (Concessions or Husker Harvest, for example). You can volunteer for these events, but your team or class cannot directly benefit from the proceeds.

• Babysitting for immediate family

• Routine household chores

• Work completed for a family business

• Activities completed without adult supervision or verification

Student Requirements

Students must:

1. Complete at least 10 unpaid volunteer hours each school year. Special recognition will be given to those completing additional hours.

2. Get approval from a parent/guardian when needed.

3. Bring the verification form to the volunteer site. 

4. Have the supervising adult sign the verification form.

5. Turn the completed verification form in to the school counselor/community service coordinator
