What type of volunteer work counts for service hours? At CHCA, your service hours counted for graduation are those hours you spend doing unpaid work for a non-profit/NGO. This is beyond the service that we hope you naturally do for your family. Service/volunteer work is to be completed through a non-profit agency or to a person in the community who would be considered marginalized (i.e. homeless, low-income, handicapped, elderly, etc.). Examples of non-profits include churches, most schools, social services such as soup kitchens, nursing homes, humanitarian aid organizations, and more. 

What volunteer work does NOT count for service hours? Unpaid work or internships with for-profit businesses/services, babysitting (unless preapproved by the SOS Office), training/practice time, unpaid work for individuals who can afford to pay for services rendered, taking care of family members or doing chores or other unpaid work for family, including work in family owned businesses. 
SOS provides many service hour opportunities. Check them out here or stop by the SOS room. More information about community service requirements can be found here.
