Log Your Community Service Hours…

GWCS students are expected to complete a minimum of 30 hours of community service each school year. Up to 10 hours can be school-sponsored events, such as trips and events. Students also have the opportunity to perform their community service hours through school-sponsored community service activities. However, students may complete their hours at any institution, facility, or program that is approved by the Director.  Students who enroll mid-year should complete 7.5 hours of community service per quarter.  Questions? Talk with your Advisor.
