Service Learning/Community Service Hours

All students must complete 60 hours of Service Learning (also known as Community Service) by the time they graduate from high school. Community service is a fun, rewarding and a way to explore career opportunities. You might wonder what are ways to get involved?

1) Figure out what you are interested in, STEM, education, social justice, sports, medicine, etc. Now find a place to volunteer.

2) You could visit the counseling center (located in building 2 on the main floor) for a document with a list of organizations or check out this website https://www.justserve.org/projects

3) Now that you know where you want to volunteer, either going into the organization and applying on the spot or send an email.

Hello ___________________________,

I am currently a student at Cleveland and would like to volunteer at your organization, I am interested because ..... How do I apply?

Sincerely,

Name

Email Address

4) Don't forget to submit a service learning documentation form for each organization you volunteer with to our Registrar Ms.Tagupa in room 2151.
