Students may earn hours from a combination of curriculum-based
and extracurricular service. The two options are described
below:
Option

methodology. Through a particular class, students are involved
in service to the community that has a direct correlation
to and reinforces the course goals and objectives. The amount,
length and type of service involvement may vary. Service
may take place during or after the school day.
Option

that occur within or outside their school but are not part
of an academic class. The activities may be organized by
a school club, a community organization, or one or more
students with an original idea.
