Community service should be done with a non-profit agency. Or, it can be an activity that benefits a non-profit agency. During the period of social distancing, we are allowing students to do service at home or with relatives. Examples include painting, cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, etc.

Missing Deadlines
Missing deadlines may result in the loss of program benefits. For example, seniors may not be eligible for certain scholarships. Students might not be recognized (with certificates, for example) at school programs. Finally, late forms may cause the student to not be continually enrolled in the program.
