Review: How to Log Hours

There are three types of service an upstanding NHS member must perform before they graduate. Here is a reminder how you get credit for the work you do:

Chapter Service

1. These are opportunities that are available to all members of NHS. They are often advertised at mandatory meetings. Examples include Sean Russell's CAS project, ushering parent open house, and working on an induction crew.
2.  Chapter Service projects are run by one NHS member or a small group. They are the ones responsible for filling out the Chapter Service Form. They are the ones responsible for turning the form into the Treasurer. 
3. If you join a Chapter Service Project and wish to get verified for the hours, you must find this group of students and get your name on their list.
4. You are responsible for putting your hours on your log.

Individual Service

1. These are activities that you seek out on your own. Often they will be a continuation of the things you already do that got you selected to NHS in the first place. Sometimes they will be new projects that are advertised at NHS meetings, but they aren't actually run by an NHS member. 
2. Each person who does an individual service project must fill out an Individual Service Project Form for each service project. (If it is one organization with several meetings throughout the year, you may use one form for that).
3. These activities must be approved as service by the NHS adviser, and this approval is based on the reflectiveness of the member, and his/her capacity to recognize the value of the activity to both the community and the self. This is done on the form before it is turned into the President.
4. You are responsible for putting your hours on your log.

Peer Tutoring

1. Any time you help another student in grades 7 - 12 with their academics, this can be considered Peer Tutoring. 
2. You must, however, do the tutoring in a place where an adult can verify that you spent a reasonable amount of time conducting a peer tutoring session. Yes, this can be at a house. But still, have a parent sign off your work.
3. The person you are tutoring must also sign the peer tutoring form.
4. The completed form is turned into the Vice President.
5. You are responsible for putting your hours on your log.
