It is never too soon to start working on your service hours. Find activities and organizations that you are passionate about. It is a great way to give colleges a more complete picture of who you are. To get credit for your hours use the Wolfson Community Service Log and have it signed off by the person who supervised your work. You can turn logs into Ms. Starn (starnd@duvalschools.org) in the guidance office. You do not have to fill up the entire log before turning it in- we recommend doing it regularly to ensure you don't lose completed logs. Be sure to save a copy for your records. There are some things that DO NOT count as community service. 

These include: 

1. Court mandated community service

2. An activity for which a student benefited financially or materially for the volunteer service worked

3. Family related activities or service to family members 

4. Religious activity which can be interpreted as proselytizing. This does not include religious education or service.

5. Donations, such as Locks of Love or giving blood

6. Service work that earns the student academic credit (except for credit earned through an approved service-learning course).

7. An activity where there is no responsible adult or supervisor on site to evaluate and confirm student performance.

8. Any activity done with the intent to make profit for a for-profit entity.

9. Activities done during school hours.

If you aren't sure if an activity will count ask your guidance counselor BEFORE you do it.

 

In these current COVID times, consider doing virtual, contactless service work.
