Kell Community Service Program
Give back to your community by participating in a variety of volunteer events, earning community service hours, and earning a medallion as a graduating senior! The mission of the Kell High School Character Education and Community Service Program (CSP) is to encourage students to become civic-minded through engagement in community service projects which benefit the community through Kell High School and prepare our students to be well-rounded individuals.
Acceptable projects and volunteer hours submitted for recognition will include the following:
- Volunteer time, Service projects, and/or donations which are sponsored by a Kell club, team, or organization. These hours can be verified by the club/organization's sponsor.
- Volunteer time, Service projects, and/or donations which are sponsored by Kell High School. These hours can be submitted and verified by Kell faculty or staff members who are present at the function or event.
- Volunteer time, Service projects, and/or donations worked on outside of Kell High School but are confirmed as assisting or benefiting the community.
- All hours must be verified by an adult supervisor who is present at the function or event. All contact information must be provided, including a signature.
Unacceptable projects and volunteer hours examples:
- Internships and participation in the normal operations of an organization (Sunday school class, choir, regular organizational meetings, etc) do not receive service credit.
- Managing a school sport is not a volunteer service.
- Hours devoted to monetary or material gain, academic credit in a class, meeting or practice time for clubs or organizations and competitions.
