Community Service Ideas: Collaborative Document

Oct 14, 2020

Please add any great ideas you would like to share with the CSF/CJSF Community.

If you want to keep track of or maintain accountability for individual student community service hours:
Create a verification of service form and distribute to students before they perform service. Include: student name, event, authorized adult signature, date, number of hours. Etc. You may need to verify adult signatures.
If you have a form you use and wouldn’t mind sharing, please provide a link:

It is never a bad idea to contact your local newspaper or TV new channel to promote and publicize your event.
