1. Participation in a club or group does not count as service (student council, scouts, honor societies, etc.). However, service done with that club/group might be considered service if it meets the requirements listed below.
2. Participating in a fundraiser does not count as service. However, working on a fundraiser might be considered service if it meets the requirements below (organizing the fundraiser, working the event, etc.).
3. Service Leagues: For 2022-2023 and onward, projects done with service leagues (Key Club, NCL, YMSL, etc.) can be used for individual, one-time (occasional) projects, but not as an on going project, unless they pick one philanthropy from their options for their league and make service with that one philanthropy their ongoing project, completing 20 hours with that philanthropy.
4. Please keep a copy of your service forms. Each year we receive many requests for copies of service forms for NHS and college applications. Those applicatons usually have a quick turn-around but we are unable to retrieve old files as quickly.
When in doubt, please ask!
