Community Service refers to service that a student performs for the benefit of his or her local, national or international community. Candidates must have a minimum of 30 hours of documented community service. School and class related activities, including fundraising do not count as community service. Volunteer work for a company, unpaid internships and family obligations do not count as community service.
Many of our high school clubs & teams offer community service opportunities that benefit the greater community such as Project Paterson, Interact, Camp Raspberry, Robotics, TAC, Volleyball (Dig Pink) etc. Churches, temples and civic organizations offer community service opportunities. Volunteer work with disabled, poor or needy persons qualify as community service.
Community service must be performed during the student's high school years. It is recommended that students keep a log of community service hours and any certificates for documentation.
