SERVICE HOURS

The following list is a sample of activities that could be used to obtain service hours. We ask that each student perform 7 hours in each of the categories that are listed. It is the student’s responsibility to complete the hours as indicated. You will find a few activities that will be scheduled by the instructors for some service hours. The majority of the hours will need to be obtained by the individual student. A student may not be paid for any hours that are counted toward Confirmation hours.

Scheduled Activities:

• Snyder Village – game playing, doing nails, reading etc.
• Soup Kitchen – possibly November
