Service Hours
A common question is how service hours work. We only give community service to those part of the Student Advocates Program, so make sure you are signed up! This page tells about the general guidelines for service hours.​
​
Things to be aware of:
-
Make sure your school will accept community service hours from our organization (check with the community service department at your school)
-
Be honest - do not lie about your hours, it is not all about the time you are putting in, but your impact on others! We are so grateful for your help no matter what!
