Start your own Community Service Log!

In your eBinder, there is a Community Service Tracker, where you should start entering the information of times you have volunteered this year.

You do not need to include volunteering from middle school, as by the time you apply to college middle school will be far behind you.

What to write? If you went on academic advising trips, rising AVID 9 Q&A (1st pd only), helped out in the library/classroom or with SGA, service with another class/church/organization (anything you have done for somebody other than you & did not get paid. Do not include household chores)

** Submitting your Community Service Tracker (with your eBinder) will be part of your AVID Final Exam, so you should have at least 5 hours entered.
