- Hospital
- Parks and Recreation (YMCA)
- Library
- Food bank

- Working with a yard work service
- Babysitting neighbor’s kids

If you have any questions whether your activity will be approved, please speak with Ms. Reid before you begin your service. Time cards are picked up from Ms. Reid (or printed from the link on the left) and must be returned with total hours worked on form. The student and the supervisor to whom they reported for service must also sign the form and the Supervisor must provide a contact phone number.
Every 60 hours equals 5 elective credits. Turn it into Counseling to record the credits. A student may earn up to 20 elective credits of community service.
