Community Service

COMMUNITY SERVICE REQUIREMENTS

40 Community Service Hours are Required

Community Service Verification Forms must be filled out and submitted to your school’s Community Service Coordinator, Mrs. Emily Job. Please contact Mrs. Job at [email protected]. The deadline for seniors to submit Community Service Verification Forms is June 1st. Please contact your counselor with any questions.

The PYLUSD Community Service Handbook states: Community service is work you do for your community for which you receive no pay. Any student who is doing community service through a court probation program may not use those hours to fulfill the graduation requirement. Also, service performed for family members or private individuals will not count toward the community service requirement (examples of private arrangements include tutoring a friend, babysitting for a neighbor, helping out family friends… these hours DO NOT count). Volunteer hours for school credit TO NOT COUNT. Volunteering your time at a for-profit business does not count. Your volunteer hours must be for a community organization.

Listed below are current community service opportunities. These are a few of the many places students can obtain community service hours from:

Schools in Orange county: Valencia HS, Valadez MS, Kraemer MS, any elementary school, not only in our district, but any school in a different school district.
Churches
Kids sports teams, i.e. soccer, basketball, football, baseball,...
American Red Cross
American Cancer Society
American Heart Association
Placentia, Yorba Linda, Anaheim, and the Sunkist Library
Boys/Girls Club
Mary's Kitchen
Love Placentia
Hospitals: Convalescent, Medical, Clinics etc.

Community Service Verification Form

Non-profit isn't the main criteria, but it certainly helps to qualify for community service. If you are doing multiple days at the same time venue (i.e. church), you don't have to turn in a form every month, but rather after 6 months or when the time is finished.
