Community service hours are a requirement for students in Broward County Public Schools. These hours provide students with the opportunity to give back to their community and develop important skills such as leadership, teamwork, and empathy. Students are required to complete a certain number of community service hours in order to graduate.
In order to track and document their community service hours, students can obtain a Community Service Hours Sheet from their school’s guidance counselor or the school’s website. This sheet must be filled out by the student and signed by the supervisor of the community service activity. It is important for students to keep track of all their community service hours and submit the completed sheet to their guidance counselor before the deadline.
Benefits of Completing Community Service Hours
Completing community service hours not only fulfills a graduation requirement but also provides students with valuable experiences that can help them stand out on college applications and resumes. It allows students to make a positive impact on their community, develop important skills, and build relationships with others. Additionally, many scholarships and awards consider community service involvement when making selections.
