Social Distancing Service Ideas
Service may look a little different this summer.
Rather than using a log to record the typical 5 service hours required over the summer, we are asking you to document your experiences with a photo, video, journal entry, or any other way you wish to share your good deeds.
These experiences do not have to add up to 5 hours. It is the quality and effort you put into your service, not the quantity.
Please note that these ideas are just SUGGESTIONS.
You are encouraged to find your own ways to do service as the opportunity arises and our restrictions are lifted. Make sure you document what you did and are able to turn in your service at the start of school (by Sep 5), whatever that may look like come the end of August.
