Community Service

Hours Required by Year

10 Hours | Sophomore
12 Hours | Junior
15 Hours | Senior
Community service is a way to become a working, beneficial, essential part of the community in which you live. All PPA English students will be required to perform community service and provide documentation of the service completed. All ideas for community service will be presented to the teacher, prior to the start, in order to know if it is acceptable for the class requirement.

This service needs to be genuine service, provided by you, directly affecting your community. For example, babysitting for free is not considered a genuine community service. In the past students have volunteered at facilities such as veterinarian offices, Habitat for Humanity, March of Dimes, Walk for Autism, and various local nonprofits. Think creatively and remember that you will be reflecting on your experiences. Summer hours do not count; all hours must be performed during the school year.

When providing documentation, you will hand in a letter on letterhead signed by the adult in charge of the event. noting the hours and duties performed. It is advisable that you keep a journal of your experience, noting both emotional thoughts and explanatory information. You will want to know some history of the person or place that you choose to assist.
