Community Service Graduation Requirements
-
Global Concepts Charter School students are required to complete 20 hours of community service during the course of their high school experience in order to graduate. Students may successfully complete their hours at any time during their high school years prior to graduation.
Community Service:
- Is any non-paid volunteer work that is completed at a non-profit agency/organization, religious organization (church, mosque, synagogue), or school.
- Is a great benefit for students' college applications; scholarships; resume; and an opportunity to earn a Career Development and Occupational Studies (CDOS) Credential in addition to their Regents Diploma.
- Can provide a healthy boost to a student's self-confidence, self-esteem, and life satisfaction. Doing a good deed for others in the community and school, provides a natural sense of accomplishment.
Students are required to submit official documentation from the coordinator of any community service or Global Concepts Service Verification Form, which is available: In the CTE Office at the Career and Technical Center and Guidance Office in the High School Building.
Students and Parents should contact Mrs. Boyd, Lboyd@globalccs.org with any questions about fulfilling this requirement.
