Requirement information
As part of each student's requirements for graduation, five hours of community service must be performed for each year or partial year of attendance at a Public 27J High school.
- Service is defined as Volunteer experience, Community Service (non-Profit or government agency) or Experiential Learning. Students are encouraged to use this service opportunity to explore potential career interests.

Things that don't work for service learning fulfillment:
- Community service work cannot take place during the a regularly schedule class time.
- Students can not receive pay or academic credit for community service.
- Court-Ordered or disciplinary service does not count.
- Other examples, - It should not be I babysat my brother. It is not family chores. It is above and beyond what you may normally do.
