Community Service

Community Service Opportunities

Poway High School does not have a community service requirement for graduation. Community service for school credits (such as peer counseling, AVID, or other community service related organizations) is defined as doing something on a volunteer basis that directly benefits the community. For example, teaching Sunday School only benefits a church so that would NOT be considered community service although working with a church to feed the homeless WOULD count. Babysitting for family members wouldn't be considered community service although babysitting for free for a neighbor or at a community event would count. It is recommended that students keep track of their own hours throughout high school, as many colleges and scholarships ask for the number of hours which students volunteered. The attached form (PDF below) can be used for keeping track of hours.
