I have about 60 hours of community service. My school requires 20 each year, but you get certificates if you do a lot more and a special graduation cord if you manage to do 400. My goal is to get 200 through tutoring, Key Club, and possibly volunteering at the library, which I wasn’t able to do in the past since I didn’t have as much service opportunities before. It’s still possible for me to get 400, though, if my work at my school’s theater like my sister each day, but it’s highly unlikely I’ll do it since I’ll have to balance it with my schedule.
my school starts mid august too. sorry to change the subject, but how important do you guys think summer activities are??? im stuck between wanting to accomplish something but also ACTUALLY taking a break 
I think I have around 80 hours of volunteering, but I’m not sure, haha. I probably should have kept track of them. I’ll ask the librarians for whom I volunteer if they could look through their database and find out how many hours I’ve volunteered for them.
Guys this is bad
I just watched the first four seasons of Grey’s Anatomy… in six days.
This is bad.
lol, how is that even posible
Haha cause I’ve already watched every episode before so I forward it to the parts of the episodes I want to see.
And cause I’ve been sick 
(Plus the first and fourth season have like 9 and 17 episodes respectively)
I only have about 17 hours of community service so far. We need 40 hours to graduate.
Where do you guys volunteer? Volunteer opportunities are hard to find (besides tutoring and library work).
All my volunteer hours are from the after-school gardening program that we have at my school. I should have more hours but I stopped going, partly because no one could pick me up after school. But I’m going to start going again this year.
I go to a Catholic school so I have a bunch of volunteer opportunities. I volunteer at Our Daily Bread a lot and I also volunteer at vacation bible school, which gives me a lot of hours.
I have around 200 hours of community service that I completed this past year. My freshman year, I didn’t do anything. I had no extracurriculars nor community service hours! 
So I tried to catch up sophomore year even though I am only required to get 20 hours for all four years, So I can get a presidential award.
I usually volunteer at for community events. Usually, you can get 8 hours knocked off in one day. I also volunteer at the library. I can’t seem to get into the hospital and I really want to get into any hospital but I keep getting put on the waiting list (I heard the only way to get in is to apply for three years straight (the application is sooo long (sorry, just felt like complaining)) or know someone who works there).
@iamnotironman I never though of volunteering at my church. Maybe I should do that!
@ambers58 Have you tried VolunteerMatch.com? It’s a great website to find volunteer opportunities to find what you are interested in.
@athenanv13 Nope! I’ll check it out, thanks (:
I volunteer at the hospital, I have about 30 hours that I’ve done there and I volunteer at monthly events with my religious group so I have about 20 from that. Between clubs, I have about 10-15 or so, but I don’t have any proof or anything, so I don’t know if it counts.
Lol I should have like 50p hours. My school does not take church related activities since it only benefits the church and not the community (which is complete bs)
@greeneggandham89 That is so unfair. My school approves church activities but I refrain from doing them because my old church tended to be very disorganized. I once worked for the parish festival and signed up for a shift but when I arrived a bunch of kids from my old middle school were already working the shift because apparently their moms demanded that they get the shift so that they can get service hours. 
Do they at least give you hours for working for charity drives within your church?
@iamnotironman I was planning on volunteering for my church’s vacation bible school this year, but my family wasn’t active in any church at the time, so I guess I’ll do it next year. Once we find a church I think I’ll also join their youth group.
@dsi411 Gardening club sounds really interesting! My school started one last year and I’m planning on joining it this year.
@greeneggsandsam9 lol with your school’s logic, volunteering at the hospital shouldn’t count because it only benefits injured/sick people, not the whole community!
Is anyone taking the ACT in September?
@athenanv13 I am! Are you?
