Community Service Information

Service Credit will be given for any approved activity involving service to a township school or community. You must submit your community service log in the year that the activity took place. Logs from previous years will not be accepted.

Community Service is not required for graduation but we encourage students to complete 10 hours a year, completing 40 hours by the time they graduate.

• Project Involve allows a user to read the daily news in summary based on the amount of time they have, whether that be 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, or more. Today’s youth wants to be able to directly help tackle the problems the news is about. That's exactly what Involve does. For this reason, Involve connects each article that the student reads to a partnered NGO that is in the same category (e.g. Health, Education, Arts). You click on the Help Now button and you get connected with a relevant nonprofit who you can help right away. We are partnered with 15 NGOs and are continuing to grow!
