Where can I complete my required community service hours? 

You can complete your community service hours through one experience or many – the choice is yours. What’s more important, is that you find opportunities that excite you or align with your career interests. 

Community service can be through a community, in-district, or personal connection. You may not be compensated in any way (financially, or through goods or services).

How do I log my completed community service hours? 

All community service hours must be tracked in MaiaLearning. After you complete your community service activity, sign in to MaiaLearning and enter them in the Portfolio Section under the “Experience” tab. Be sure to include your community service supervisor’s name and email – your supervisor will receive an email to verify and approve your completed hours.
