Community Service: START NOW!

Q: Can I wait and submit all my hours together in April?

A: No. Submit your hours within two weeks of the service date. Examples:

1. You served at an event on Jan. 27. Submit those hours no later than Feb. 10.
2. You served on Jan. 20 and Jan. 27 for the same non-profit organization/SIUE department and did the same or very similar type of work on both dates. Combine the hours for both dates on one form no later than Feb. 3 (two weeks after the first service date of Jan. 20).
3. You served on Jan. 20 and Feb. 4 for the same non-profit organization/SIUE department and did the same or very similar type of work on both dates. Since Jan. 20 and Feb. 4 are more than 2 weeks apart, submit separate forms. The form for the Jan. 20 work should be submitted no later than Feb. 3. The form for the Feb. 4 work should be submitted no later than Feb. 18.
4. You serve through the same non-profit organization/SIUE department multiple times a week for the duration of the semester (such as being note-taker for ACCESS). The work is the same or very similar type of work each time. Combine the hours for 2 weeks worth of service on one form. If the first day you took notes was Jan. 16, submit your first form on Jan. 30, and include your service time from Jan. 16 - 30. Your next submission would include time from Jan. 31 - Feb. 14 and should be submitted on Feb. 14. You would repeat this pattern throughout the semester.

If two experiences are either not through the same non-profit/SIUE department and/or the type of work is not identical, submit separate forms for each experience.

If you have questions about when you should submit your hours or if you can combine hours on one form, contact Erin Myers in the SOAR Office (email jhscholar@siue.edu, text 618-706-9673, call 618-650-5650 or 618-650-3790).

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.
