Senior Service Project

​"Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile." - Albert Einstein

While community service is a requirement to earn for the National Honor Society, it is hoped that
this will become a long-standing practice as you assume your responsibilities as a citizen of the United
States.

The Project:
Plan the activity
Identify a need in the community
Develop an action plan to meet this need
Collect resources necessary to complete the project
Make a timeline and a schedule for completion
According to school guidelines fundraising activities may only encompass a
2-week period. All senior projects must follow these guidelines. )
Get parent and adviser approval
Turn in the proposal form.
If your project occurs on school property, you must ALSO turn in the activity
request form at least one week prior to beginning of activity.
Implement the activity
Put your action plan into practice
If you are raising money (for charity, scholarship, etc.), all money must be turned
into Ms.Taylor for deposit at school. At the end of the activity, a check will be
cut to the appropriate person or organization.

If you are offering a prize for participation, you must consult with Ms. Taylor.

Keep track of your effort/ deposits in a log

Keep records of your work – photos, clippings, examples, etc.
Follow-Up:
Complete the follow-up form and turn into Ms. Taylor within 1 week of activity
completion.

Evaluate/reflect on your experience and the changes that were made in the plan.

Your PROJECT is NOT considered complete until all forms and pictures have been given to Ms.
Taylor.
