Guidance around earning your 10 NJHS Service Hours
- You must submit one of these online Service Hours for EACH activity or event that you do to earn hours.
- These need to be service hours that you completed between August 24, 2020 and April 30, 2021.
- Students may NO LONGER use service hours earned over the summer for NJHS. We are proud of you for doing service, but the whole point of the 10 hours is to get you out into this community throughout the school year.
- Service hours for NJHS ARE hours that you work and do not get paid. They are hours spent working for a nonprofit or other community group. They are not hours spent working for your family.
- Service hours for NJHS CAN BE hours of volunteer work that you do with another group you are in, like a church youth group, Civil Air Patrol, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Young Life, etc.
- Service hours for NJHS ARE NOT hours spent babysitting a neighbor for free or raking leaves for your dad or helping your brother do homework. Those are all very good ways to volunteer your time, but that is not what we are going for. NJHS scholars should be out in the community--push your comfort zone. Find a way to make a difference.
