Community Service: START NOW!

Q: Do I need to have a form or paper signed to prove I completed service hours?

A: No, but you do need to keep detailed records.

• Use the new JHS Community Service Log to record details including the date you serve, time span, number of hours, event name or experience description, and nonprofit name. Stop by the SOAR Office (see bottom of email) for a printed copy.
• When you serve, record the name, title, phone number, and email address of the person organizing or overseeing your work (this person should be affiliated with the non-profit organization or SIUE department).
• The Pre-Approved Service Experiences below include this information which you need to enter when submitting your hours. If you sign up, record the information on your Community Service Log.
• For details on how to submit your hours, click on "How to Complete & Submit Your Community Service Hours" in the red box below:

Pre-Approved Organizations

Contact pre-approved organizations that interest you to schedule community service hours that fit in to your schedule.

Here are two lists of pre-approved organizations:

• Pre-Approved Organizations in the Edwardsville Area
• Pre-Approved On-Campus and Virtual Service Organizations

NOTE: While you are not limited to pre-approved organizations/experiences, completing community service with organizations that are not pre-approved may result in your service hours being denied (not approved), regardless of approval in past semesters. To be approved, your service must meet the current JHS definition of community service as described in the JHS Student Guide. You may use the Community Service Approval Chart to help determine if an organization/activity will be approved. Additionally, students may contact Erin Myers in the SOAR Office (text 618-706-9673, email jhscholar@siue.edu, call 618-650-5650 or 618-650-3790) to verify if an organization/activity will be approved or for help finding qualifying community service opportunities.
