Involvement (must have approval from sponsors / Faculty Council)
u Church work that reaches
beyond a specific denomination and is not preaching in nature (Please
note: Church work must reach beyond the church itself and benefit the community
at large. Bible school, singing in the choir, baby-sitting during services,
are applauded, but they are not used for the purpose of NHS community service
requirements.)
Other
service has been accepted when it meets these general requirements:
1)
Helps the community: that is, the Lewisville, Highland Village, Flower
Mound area (some Dallas service, the Soup Kitchen, for example, has also been
accepted)
2)
It provides no compensation, monetary or otherwise, to the volunteer.
For example, if a Scout helps with a camp out, that is also benefiting him /
her because it is a recreational activity in which he / she also takes part.
This would not meet the guidelines.
3) It takes place outside regular school hours.
Sponsors
and the faculty council must approve any volunteer service not listed above.
