COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM BLOCK T PROGRAM forms are available in the Career Education office. You must complete 100 hours of community service within April 21, 2012 and ending April 19, 2013. Students who successfully complete the program will receive a Block “T” Letter. Awards will be presented in May. The program is open to all high school students. Please remember that 75 hours can come from one activity and the remaining 25 hours needed for the 100 hours would need to come from another volunteer activity. Club meetings, dance performances, performing in a play, job training, singing in a choir in Church are not considered community service. Helping friends and family is admirable but NOT recognized for a THS Block T. Volunteer time must be done at a recognized non-profit agency or event for no compensation, no school credit & outside normal school hours. Student Community Service Award Program Guidelines are printed on back page of program forms.
