- Community Service Hours
- What constitutes as community service?
- Any community service hours earned performing any service-related task that helps the community in any way.
- i.e. CNA hours at a nursing facility, food bank hours feeding the homeless, food stand at games for local schools, volunteer hours at a shelter or animal shelter, mowing lawns for neighbors, fund-raising, etc.
- Any community service hours earned performing any service-related task that helps the community in any way.
- What doesn’t qualify as community service?
- Working in any capacity that is paid.
- Working in any capacity that does not personally engage the public.
- What Disqualifies you?
- If your hours are not honest, or your hours don’t add to 50.
- Evidence of service to the community through your creative practice.
- What constitutes as serving the community through your art?
- Performing for staff or students
- Performing off site (at a theater, game, or other event)
- Performing for the community in any way or engaging the community with your art/craft
- Art shows on/off campus where your work engages the public (keep track of how long it stays up – those are hours)
- For Example: If I hang a painting in a bank for 1 month (about 4 weeks) and the bank is open 5 days a week, 6 hours a day, hours would be calculated like this:
- __#hrs x __#totaldaysopen = ___total hours
- 6 x 20 = 120 hours of public engagement
- For Example: If I hang a painting in a bank for 1 month (about 4 weeks) and the bank is open 5 days a week, 6 hours a day, hours would be calculated like this:
- What does not qualify?
- Anything done in class on site
- Anything that does not include your art and the community combined
- Can this be used for Community Service Hours?
- YES!!!! — If you have earned 50+ hrs of public engagement through your art, then you do not need to have additional hours for community service. You can use these hours for both. Just state that on the application.
