Community Service Information
SERVICE, JUSTICE,
AND PEACE
St. Paul reminds us
to “share with any of God’s holy people who are in need: look
for opportunities to be hospitable” (Romans 12:13). Part of the
religious studies curriculum focuses on a Community Service
component. Each student is required to do active service in the
community.

What is the process
of doing community service?
To receive credit
for a community service project, the student must:
-
Obtain a
Community Service form from his/her Religion teacher or
in the Campus Ministry Office.
-
This form is
to be filled out by the student, signed by the parent,
and pre-approved by the religion teacher or Campus
Minister. ALL COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS MUST BE
PRE-APPROVED prior to participating in the service.
Otherwise, the hours will not be accounted for.
-
Once the
project has been pre-approved, the student takes the
form to his/her supervisor to be signed, dated, and list
the number of hours completed at the actual community
service site.
-
The student
is to return the completed form to his/her religion
teacher within ONE WEEK of the completed projected.
Otherwise, hours will not be accepted.
Where can community
service projects be completed?
- Campus
Ministry holds a variety of community service activities
on-campus which needs no pre-approval. These projects
will be listed in our Campus Ministry website and will
be communicated to the student in their Religion class.
- If a
student is completing a project outside of Chaminade,
student and parents must make sure that it is a
NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION. Students are to obtain a
pre-approval form either from their Religion teacher or
Campus Ministry.
What happens if
hours are incomplete?
When are community
service hours due?
If some of this
information seems to be unclear, please refer to pages 12 and 13
in the student’s agenda book. You may also contact the
student’s Religion teacher or the Campus Ministry office.
