COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM BLOCK T PROGRAM forms are available in the Career
Education office. You must complete 100 hours of community service within April 21, 2012
and ending April 19, 2013. Students who successfully complete the program will receive a
Block “T” Letter. Awards will be presented in May. The program is open to all high school
students. Please remember that 75 hours can come from one activity and the remaining 25
hours needed for the 100 hours would need to come from another volunteer activity. Club
meetings, dance performances, performing in a play, job training, singing in a choir in Church
are not considered community service. Helping friends and family is admirable but NOT
recognized for a THS Block T. Volunteer time must be done at a recognized non-profit
agency or event for no compensation, no school credit & outside normal school hours. Student
Community Service Award Program Guidelines are printed on back page of program forms.
