Community service is defined as non-paid activities that provide a benefit to others and improve the school or wider community.

What Counts Toward Service Hours:

  • Non-paid service activities that benefit the school, local, or global community — including civic engagement, charity work, and faith/culturally-based service.
  • Hours completed at a previous school during grades 9-12 for transfer students, provided documentation is available.
  • Service hours earned outside of the school day, during lunch, or during an approved seminar period.

What Does Not Count Toward Service Hours:

  • Paid work.
  • Household chores or family responsibilities (e.g., babysitting siblings, cleaning the garage).
  • Activities that allow students to receive both school/club credit, as well as volunteer hours (“double-dipping”).
  • Volunteering during academic periods.
