Community Service Course

· Students may use this to fulfill a life skill requirement

· Must be a volunteer situation

· Students need to have a plan of action before starting a community service course.

· ESs need to help students with their plan of action

· If it is a onetime thing, it will not count as a course. (one day of volunteer work)

· If it is a onetime thing, the ES and the student will need to see where that can be added as an enhancement to a course they are already taking

· The course must have documentations to demonstrate that the student has new learning every month.

Ways to document new learning.

· Time log ( for part of the documentation)

· Written journal

· Essay about:

o what was learned

o people they interviewed

o describing their task

o reason behind volunteering

o talk about the project they are working on

o population they are working with

o Who is benefitting from them volunteering

o Explaining the task they are doing

o Community they are working in

· Pictures to document what they are doing. (Pictures still need written information)

Remember this is not work experience and no student should use their job as community service course.
