Crescenta Valley High School Community Service Guidelines
Community Service must be non-paid.
Community Service must be with a
non-profit organization.
Students may not count work for a
family member.
Community Service is not allowed at
private homes.
We limit service to 5 hours per
school day.
We allow 8 hours per day on weekends,
summer and holidays.
Community Service cannot be performed
during school instructional hours (lunch and after school is okay). The one exception is if students are
enrolled in the Peer Tutoring program.
Students may choose to receive either academic credit or receive
Community Service hours.
Students may count volunteer hours
for church related activities such as teaching Sunday school or performing
music for worship services.
Students may volunteer for political
campaigns and voter registration programs.
Students may receive Community
Service credit for volunteer work on behalf of CVHS school programs, clubs, or
sport teams. This includes
fundraising or preparation for a school event or production.
Community Service does not count at
any (for profit) business including doctors, dentists, pharmacies,
veterinarians, private music schools, art schools, college prep academies,
dance academies, private day cares or private nursery schools. Work performed at a business is
considered an internship not Community Service.
Volunteer service hours count at
hospitals, retirement and convalescent homes.
