Definition of "Community Service": Offering your time and abilities to benefit the local community, including (but not limited to) schools, hospitals, parks & recreation, city events, and charitable organizations. Community service is unpaid. Furthermore, community service is by choice. (For example, if you are required by your choir teacher to attend a concert, that service is by requirement, not by choice)
Service organizations include but are not limited to the following: Harris Hospital, Baylor All Saints Hospital, Cook Children, Food Bank of Tarrant County, Humane Society of NT, Habitat for Humanity, Arlington/Fort Worth Public Library, Project Graduation, teen court, and religious institutions. (Note: Religious instruction i.e. teaching Sunday School does NOT count towards service hours.) All organizations must qualify for Section 501 (c) 3 status. Other service organizations should be cleared through Mrs.Church.
