[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d appreciate tips from seasoned GC parents on how their kid earned service hours. The school’s approved list of activities seems very limited. Moreover, the activities seem short—like one hour—and many orgs don’t have a lot of availability.

Do most students simply do these approved activities?

I know you can theoretically pursue other activities after securing approval, but I would like to hear from actual GC parents whose kids did an alternative activity: where, what, how, etc?

Thanks![/quote]

What grade is your child? The list of sites on the website are suggestions and not exhaustive. If you know of sites closer to you, your best bet is emailing the Campus Ministry office to see if it's a site that counts. Your child can also stop by the office during the school day and ask one of the staff.

In terms of alternative activities, my child does service over the summer and sometimes during extended breaks. Last year they went to help at a Toys for Tots event with their friends and did some of the opportunities hosted by the school- these are usually in the daily bulletin.
There are also summer service trips the PP has mentioned.[/quote]
