If you have any questions about whether or not your intended activity is eligible, come see Mrs. Norton in Student Services BEFORE you start. 

You can print the Community Involvement Hours Form, complete it, and then have it signed by the community sponsor to record your hours. Or, you can provide a letter from the organization stating the number of hours you volunteered. Once you have these documents completed, please upload them using this Form which will be sent to Guidance to be recorded. Submit your hours as you complete them—no need to wait until the last minute!
