Requirements for Volunteer & Community Service

1. Find an organization you would like to volunteer with from the Preferred Organizations document. Other organizations may be considered. The instructor has the final decision. See the FAQ page for the requirements of organizations.
   
   
2. Sign the Release of Liability and Expectations Contracts. These MUST be completed before you begin your volunteer hours. The date for submitting these will be early in the semester.
   
   
3. Volunteer for the required hours. Typically, a professor will require 3 to 12 hours, giving more credit for more hours. The remaining documents will have to be turned in by the deadline assigned by the instructor, usually late in the semester, but before finals week. Check your syllabus.
   
   
4. Use the Volunteer Verification form to keep a log of the dates and times you volunteered along with the proper signatures and turn it in to your ethics instructor.
   
   
5. Write a one-page essay reflecting upon your volunteer service. The Reflection Assignment document will help as a guide. You should include what you learned about yourself, others and the organization you worked with. You should also include how your perceptions have changed through this experience.
   
   
6. Finally complete the Service Learning Survey. After you complete the survey, you will receive a confirmation page print this or copy and paste into a drop box following your Instructor's guidelines.
