Central High School

What is considered community service? Volunteering for a nonprofit organization in the community or participating in the many service projects offered by school clubs and organizations. 
 

Does the service that I completed in previous years count?
For 12th graders, only 5 hours of service completed during their senior year qualifies for graduation. The seal of civic readiness is completed through 25 hours of service throughout high school. National Honor Society requires 5 hours of school service and 15 hours outside of school, completed after induction.

How can I find service opportunities that will work for me? 

• You can search for opportunities online at Volunteer CNY
• Ask your counselor or teacher for suggestions
• Talk to your club advisor or coach
• Check with friends or relatives that work for nonprofits- they could provide you with opportunities

Where do I return the form?  Return to your social studies google classroom. 

Can I choose not to do service? Service is a graduation requirement in this district and will also be counted as a grade in your senior social studies classes.
