Criteria
Upon graduation, students who have completed 200 hours or more of community service

Definition
Community service is voluntary time without compensation spent on selfless acts which
benefit the school community and/or the wider community. Community service can be
fulfilled in the service of a school, community, religious affiliation or non-profit 501(c)(3)
organization.
The following activities are excluded:
Community service for school activities that are self-serving to the student or
organization, i.e. CERTO and regular organization meetings.
Court mandated community service.
Community service which promotes the teaching of religion, i.e. religious
instruction.
Community service performed for a for profit organization, i.e. dance school.
Guidelines
‣ The Milford Board of Education Form (on back) is the preferable means of recording
hours. However, certain providers of hours can attest to a student’s participation with
a testimonial letter or their own form which must be attached to this form. Volunteer
Adult Coordinator Signatures or Club Advisors (no club Officers) will be accepted,
other than a relative (unless the relative is the chair of an event), who can attest to the
student’s participation and hours. No photocopy, original signature is needed on
form.
‣ A separate form must be completed for each organization volunteer activity.
‣ All summer community service hours must be returned no later than
October 1, 2013. (There will be no exceptions or extensions.)
‣ Guidelines and additional forms for community service hours may be found on the
Foran High website, Guidance Office, Main Office, and the Parent/Student Handbook
available online at www.foranhigh.org or www.milforded.org.
