COMMUNITY SERVICE

Volunteering is an expression of support for a principle that strikes to the heart of many people.  Working together we can make a difference and make the world a better place.  Volunteerism empowers individuals and helps build a more cohesive society.  Volunteering enables one to play a vital role in supporting the American culture; citizenship; responsibility and service.  Everyone has skills and talents they can give. In a study conducted by The Corporation for National and Community Services, there are over 7.0 million volunteers per year in the state of California.  That's 964 million hours of service per year equating to approximately 34.1 hours per resident.  That's amazing! The purpose of the NMUSD community service program is to provide all high school students the opportunity to have a positive impact in our community while learning that service to others is an on-going part of life.  40 hours of community service is a requirement for graduation in NMUSD.  It is recommended that students complete a minimum of 10 hours of community service each year.  Students mayaccumulate more than 10 hours per year.  Students are advised to complete the community service requirement prior to their senior year.    Please take note of the following guidelines when performing your service:

  • Community Service hours must be completed at a non-profit organization
  • A student may volunteer for a single organization or at a variety of organizations
  • Students are encouraged to complete their hours in areas related to their personal interests
  • Paid experiences do not qualify
  • Working without pay at your job or for a family business does not qualify
  • Court ordered community service will be accepted for up to 20 hours of the required 40 hours
  • Students can earn a maximum of 20 hours through a sport, school related activity (i.e.:  theater, school newspaper, yearbook, tutoring, etc. - all hours must be performed outside of school hours and should not count towards any school credit)
  • Students cannot earn hours for donating items or money - only their time.
  • When a student transfers from one NMUSD school to another, the community service Hours will be forwarded to the receiving school.
  • The community service requirement will be prorated for students transferring into an NMUSD high school (5 hours per semester of attendance
