Types of Service

    Any student ninth through twelfth grade may join Junior Civitans.  The requirements are as follows:

        a) Membership dues which goes to the International and Regional Clubs. 

        b) Sign a pledge form stating that the member will perform 10 hours of service per month, keep a log of service hours, and turn it in monthly.  Member may not accept any money for any service that they do.

    Students are given opportunities through club-sponsored events to fulfill some of their service hours.  However, students will need to initiate and/or search for service opportunities themselves as well in order to fulfill their pledge.  This also encourages the student to search for opportunities of service rather than simply signing up for a school sponsored activity.

    Some of the service that students have been doing this year include teaching CCD classes at their parishes, volunteering in Nursing Homes, hospitals, etc. working for elderly neighbors, raking leaves, doing housework, coaching elementary sports teams, etc.

    If a student is also in National Honor Society, then they are required to perform only seven hours per month.

    If a student is in Apostolic Works, they are required to perform only seven hours per month for the semester in which they are enrolled in Apostolic Works

    If a student is in both NHS and Apostolic Works, they are required to perform five hours of service for the semester in which they are in Apostolic Works and seven hours the remaining months.

    The hours that students work for one club cannot be counted again for another club.
