Community Service

FINAL DEADLINE MONDAY, APRIL 15!

All 12 hours of community service must be completed AND submitted.

How to Check the Status of Your Community Service Submissions:

1. Sign in to the Get Involved at SIUE website (https://getinvolved.siue.edu/).

2. Click on your photo or the gray circle with your initials at the top right of the page.

3. Select “Experiences” (NOT “Service Hours”) from the drop-down menu.

4. Each submission will show its status (approved, pending, or denied):

Q: Help! I still need community service hours. Do you know of anything?

A: Every eligible opportunity that I (Erin) / we (The SOAR Office) know about has been shared here in the JHS Newsletter. If you have hours left to complete, consider letter writing (see page 3 of the Pre-Approved Organizations List below) and contacting other pre-approved service organizations found in the linked list below. For letter writing, keep track of the actual amount of time you spend writing letters and report that time following the Submission Instructions. It is helpful if you include the name(s) of the letter recipient(s) on your submission form.

Pre-Approved Service Organizations

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

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 Service Approval Criteria List 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.
