Community Service Requirements
For the year 2022-2023, you must complete at least 10 hours of community service per semester. A minimum of 5 must be NHS endorsed events and the remainder are any type of community service. 

What is an "NHS sponsored activity?"
1. It is listed under NHS on the website.
2. It is something with an organization that NHS is directly involved in and/or benefits OUR school (NHS tutoring, Teacher assistance)

​What are "General Hours?"
1. There are some listed on the website, but you can find others on your own.
2. The activity must benefit the community as a WHOLE. It doesn't just benefit you, your best friend or your neighbor. (Walk for Warmth, Salvation Army)

What doesn't count?
1. Tutoring someone (NHS organized tutoring DOES count)
2. Hallway decorating
3. Fundraisers for other school organizations.
4. Other club and sports requirements (Band Mattress Sale, Link Breakfast)
5. Your NHS group project. This is a requirement of NHS. It is not extra hours UNLESS you are the group leader.

Service hours can be logged using the google form linked here: SPRING SERVICE HOUR LOG

If 10 community service hours are not completed per semester, you will be placed on probation. This status of probation will be shared with any colleges and/or scholarship programs that call to verify your NHS membership.

​Your group's school service project does NOT count toward your hours. Volunteering for other school events does NOT count toward your hours (like the Band Mattress sale or Link Crew).
