[quote=Anonymous]Sponsor again. Where, when, how, how many, by what date, etc. are all determined on a school by school basis.

In my first school where I sponsored, we had a strict "in a school setting" policy because I (maybe misguidely) was holding fast to the "scholastic organization" aspect, plus we were trying to keep a tight leash on it all. In my current school, we allow almost anything (schools, sports orgs, civic orgs, religious affiliations, community work)--our goal now is for our members to work in service of others, and of course that can be accomplished in many ways. We don't allow food drive donations to count for service hours (we did at my previous school).

Our only rules are a) students can't double dip (like NJHS & Civics), and b) they can't use any activities that they are monetarily compensated for. I guess I have loosened my grip a bit in all these years; I am now willing to do some digging if needed to confirm hours (it is way easier sometimes to confirm them if they are performed at or with a school).

I wish that the county would standardize some of the aspects of NJHS, but seeing that not even every middle school has NJHS, that's probably a pipe dream. [/quote]
